Received a postwar Erie Alco loco AA set today which had some issues, three issues to be exact. Two of the issues I knew about beforehand, but I noticed a short in the dummy engine. Found the short right away after opening the unit up, which was two bare connected wires touching the frame (shown below). Then to fix the powered unit which has its headlight out. I will be fixing that Saturday. The bigger job is trying to fix the battery operated horn and another loose wire that appears to go to the truck (and where does that go?) I will have to look at some wiring diagrams to find out.
