I just received a brand new MTH Premier Pacemaker Hudson from Trainworld (my second, long story).
When I put the engine on the track and add power I get a loud buzz from the Tender and then the track shorts out right away. I only have the MTH DCS Remote Commander controller, not a full DCS system.
I have tried reconnecting the tender to the engine multiple times along with other things like just putting the engine or the tender on the track alone. Just the engine, obviously nothing happens, just the tender I get the same experience, nothing happens. I'm guessing the issue is in the drawbar but there is no obvious issue. I have tried multiple tracks, same issue. My other Lionel engines work fine on the same track. My only other MTH engine, a railking, works fine as well.
Any thoughts on what could be wrong or what I could try? This is a replacement for my first engine which had a bent side rod, I'd hate to have to pack this one up and send it back too. Trainworld is running out of these engines, I might not be able to get a replacement.
