The day after Christmas I wanted to take the tree train for a few laps before transitioning to the "let's put everything away" mode. Powered up the little MTH Z-750 transformer and... nothing. Circuit breaker was tripped. I did a quick visual of the track. I removed and re-railed the steamer making sure all the wheels were actually on the track. Scratched my head a bit more then thought maybe a flashlight would help. And finally there it was, on its side near the back; a tarnished dime standing up and leaning against (touching) the middle rail, practically invisible! A visitor to my house must have dropped it and been unable to find it. All is well. Trains are moving again until disassembly begins on Sunday. It's always the little things :-)
