Hello,
I've been setting up my MTH trains for many years but now I'm bewildered! I have an 8'x9' MTH layout with 3 separate ovals - no crossovers, sidings or switches - with 2 lock-ons per oval (14 gauge wire). All MTH track. Z4000 transformer with DCS version 4. PS-3 diesel engines, no cars. Track signal "10" on each oval. I added each engine to DCS separately, they all run great.
Can you please help me with this? I can run 1 or 2 engines on a loop all day. 18 volts, 0.0 to 0.1 amps. When I put a THIRD engine on the loop, the Z4000, without showing any increase in amps, kicks it's breaker. Thanks, Glenn
