Hi Gil,
     Are you still looking for a semi-vanderbilt tender?  I have the medium Spectrum Unlettered #89905 tender.  Let me know.

Thought of that too.  Checked the drivers and they seem to be in order.  There is a short somewhere in the engine.  I rocked the engine on either side of the drivers and it stops.  The next step is to open the engine and check the wiring.

Thanks, thought of that.  The circuit breaker actually trips even if I do not put the tender on the tracks!

I have finally completed track laying on my layout.  I have a Digitrax Zephyr and a PM42 to distribute the power.  I started to see if the engines I have collected over the years work.  When I tried to run my non-DCC 4-8-2, the circuit breakers trip and the engine sputters ahead about a 1/4 turn of the drivers.  I use address 00 as per the Digitrax manual.  Anybody have a similar problem?
Any answers?

Thanks,
Clint
