My bachmann Spectrum 2-10-2 jumped the track and fell about 4 feet to the floor and now acts as if it had a short. I have removed the cab and tender cover and if it's on the track and I tilt the tender so that the wheels on one side only are touching the track it seems fine (has sound, lights, runs forward and back) but as soon as I let the tender down so that all wheels contact the track it shorts out. Any ideas?
Probably one of the tender trucks have rotated and cause the conducting wheels to be on the same side.
