Using a new power pack and am getting the overload light bright red. <br />What could be other reasons for an overload? <br />[/quote] <br />Possibly you have installed a reversing track without insulating rail joiners, or have more than one pair of electrical feeders with wires going to opposite rails. Or wire connections at the power pack terminals are touching each other. Any one of these will cause a short circuit which will indicate on the power pack by activating it's current limiting safety device.
