So several days ago, this Legacy K-4 (6-11319) was running on my layout with a couple of other trains, when the track power tripped. I thought that one of them had derailed and began searching where the short was occurring. By process of elimination this engine seems to be causing the short. I put it on the layout by itself, and turned the power on and it shorted immediately. I Tried to inspect the underside of the loco and tender to see if anything was out of sorts and causing the short. I could not find anything. I let the engine set for a couple of days and tried it again. The engine started up without any problems full sound, lights, smoke, but as soon as I moved the engine it shorted the power again. I tried it conventionally too, with the same result. I have only had this engine for about a month and this is the first time this has happened. I have not had any issues with my track power shorting out before, unless there was a derailment or other obvious cause. Can anybody help me trouble shoot this? Thanks!
