if you get a red light on power up, make sure the left control throttle is completely closed all the othe way otherwise you will get a red light on power up ! If you are getting the red light on power up and the throttle is completely closed then I would disconnect the transformer from your layout and see if you still get the short indication! if the red light problem goes away then you have a track short or car off the track or engine off the track issue. otherwise it is the transformer problem!

with  a transformer that age it could be the potentiometer inside the left side is wore out.

Send me an email and ill let you know what the problem could be!

From heavy use, someone cranked the handle off and you skipped a tooth on the gear.  Open it up and reset your handle and pot gear.  The gears could also be badly worn and your transformer is not seeing off.  This problem is usually the right handle as the bracket that holds the pot gets bent out of shape.  Open it and you will see what I am talking about.
