Terry, I overlooked on thing. You say you can hear the tender shorting out. That sounds like a bad insulated wheel. Check all of the insulated wheels on the tender and the loco. The arc will occure at the weakest point in the circuit even though the bad wheel may be on the loco itself...Also look for reversed insulated wheels and be sure that the pilot and trailing wheels of the loco are not shorting against the loco's frame.
