Well? It happened to me.
....More than once.
( It's not "overloaded" for me but power dips or issues.)
I had some Aristo G scale switches fail and the signal went south. It only happened when more than one engine was drawing power. The wire under the switch corroded and wouldn't carry full power thru. Had to add wires jumping the switches.
I had a O scale passing siding fail and it only occurred in certain instances. I had to move the wires to the ends of the blocks (and maybe add some wires jumping switches?).
I had my original 2 rail layout wired with bulbs and some filters. I hadn't removed them all when I upgraded TIUs to version L. Worked at first and then went south.
An easy test for anyone would be to put them on an isolated test track and see what happens to the signal. Maybe something on the layout is corroded or not up to the task of carrying the full amp load the full distance???
