Fired up the power to move some cars tonight and some strangeness is afoot. Digitrax DB-150, when the power is turned on, the loco sound does its start up thing but then quickly shuts down. Move it slightly and it goes through the start up sounds again, and again quickly shuts down. No shorts. At least I don't think so. I am running four power districts through a PM-42 and it makes shorts very obvious. No signs of any shorts. 

Hep me. Waddup? 

thanks

I am having a problem with the Soundttrax DBX9000 connector that you use to make electrical connections between the steam loco and tender. I have just completed converting an older Riverrossi Berkshire "Nickel Plate" steam engine to DCC. This was a very nice conversion and works just great. The problem I am having is the connector plug, Soundtrax DBX9000 I am using doesn't go all the way into the female receiver part in order to make an electrical connection.

Still working on the narrow gauge H&C.  In two months it'll be one year since construction began.

I'm looking for feedback on a numbering theme for my narrow gauge railroad. Right now, This is the numbering theme I'm going with, but I could use some feedback on whether this will work:

01-15: 2-axle (0-B-0) electric freight motors (01-10 are box motors, 11-15 are newer centercabs). Current units already modeled: #12 (0-B-0 centercab motor)

16-30: 4-axle (0-B-B-0) electric freight motors (mix of box motors and centercab units, numbered by age). Current units already modeled: #18 (0-B-B-0 centercab motor)
