<p>Has anybody the same problem with using the LGB 10 amp Jumbo Transformer ?</p><p>I've just bought a used one and when all the power is off and all the controls are set to 0 the motors make a sort of whining sound but the engine does not move. I measured the track voltage with the engine on the track and it's a constant 0.2 volts DC.</p><p>Without the engine on the track the voltage is 0.765 volts DC</p><p>Is this normal and can it damage the motors ? </p><p>I've tested the jumbo with a Bachmann 2-8-0, a Accucraft 2-8-0 and an old Bachmann 0-4-0 but all make the same noise from their motors.</p><p>The sound unit in the 2-8-0 works fine so there is no "signal noise" from the jumbo.</p><p>From a G scaler in Norway.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
