Track shorting out | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

JushavnfunOGR Forum Member

An unusual occurrence . As I am working today wiring my new roundhouse - yard, testing the wiring making sure the new electrical connections were solid, I kept losing power due to the track shortening out. Much to my surprise I was the cause, leaning over, the drawstring on my hoodie was the cause, specifically the METAL TIPS, man those Jay Hawks stir it up.

Short circuit 101

Is this what they mean by "March Madness"

Hope that wasn't a PW ZW powering the track - that metal tip could have scorched a finger tip!

You shot a video of shorting out your track with a hoodie string? Seriously?
