I never have electrical problems, but I do now. I run DC only in HO scale.
I have 1 main line that I run w/an MRC 20 walkaround & the other mainline I run w/a MRC9500. Before I left on my 1 week trip I was running trains on both mainlines for at least 2 hrs. for some visitors. I was gone for 7 days & when I tried to run trains on the walkaround throttle I had a dead short.
I switched transformers for a test & still have the short. That's w/an engine on the rail or not. My resistance reading is real high. I also disconnected the wires going to the back of the layout & just hooked the handheld controller directly into the transformer. Still have a short.
I badly need some idea's from you-all to fix this problem.
