I was going to post pics but my phones pics are to big. I double checked the wheels and inner part of the tender to make sure no wires were loose and or bare and touching metal. Thanks for checking and making sure I didnt over look something obvious.

The tender wheels have a pin and notch in them so they only go on one way. The plugs are the same they will only go in one way. I emailed Bachmann last night and waiting on a reply. I will grab some pics of the bottom of the tender and loco tonight after work.

The loco is the Bachmann 4-8-4 Union Pacific. Item # 53502. If the tender is not plugged in to the engine, they both can sit on the track and every thing is fine it's when it's all plugged in. I'll pull the decoder this weekend and see how it runs on a dc track. I'll do some looking into the tender.

No I don't have a multimeter yet but I'm going to pick one up this weekend. No as soon as I put it on the track and try to turn on the pro cab it Kicks. I love the power cab it is so easy to use. Thanks for all the help. I will contact the engine manufacture and ask. I'll try the nce forum too.

The loco that is overloading it is not sound equipped and does it even when it's the-only one on the track. And I bought another one of the exact same and it does the same thing. I'm running a soundtraxx 8 pin decoder in it. Which when I ordered it that's the one that was recommended. It programmed just fine but that's it. I have a plane dc version of this loco and had no problems with it on dc. I have not contacted nce yet. I was just wanting to make sure that it wasn't my wiring or something I may have overlooked. This loco is brand new. I have only 2 locos the one with sound and the one without.

Sorry we are doing an ho scale. The bus wires are 14 gauge. Yes. The screen and all go blank and then tries again. I will put the loco on and check the current draw. No it's every where on the layout even just sitting on the track. Thanks for the help

Hi. I'm am at a loss. Me and my daughter are building a layout it is 6by12. We ran a bus wire which 1 is red and one black. ran 12 feeders. We have the power cab from nice and can run one train no problem with sound. When we put another train on it kicks the Powercab circuit and won't let me run. We checked all wires to make sure we didn't cross one.any ideas would be great. Thanks in advance.
