DELETE Genset smoke units, short problem | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Conrail genset: Removed shell, and removed smoke unit from shell. Replaced batting with MTH batting, resealed unit and put it back into shell and rebuttoned up shell to the chassi. Tried to address engine and my inline ckt. breaker opened. No wires were disconnected or showed bare spots.

Also have a CN genset and repeated the replacement of the smoke batting and rebuttoned the engine. Placed it on the track, addressed with my CAB2 and again the ckt breaker opened. There were no other cars on the track in both instances .

In both times the engines come on before I address them, but do not respond to the CAB2.

Need help!!

Thank you

You should test your work before you put the shell back on. Double, triple check and make sure all wires are secured out of the way. Repeatedly taking the shell off and putting it back on increases the Likelyhood if damage

First take the shell off and look for the pinched wire.

Like I said, test your work before you put the shell back on. Itll save you all sorts of trouble
