If the tender trucks were on backwards the short would exist in either direction. sp4449daylight has given us more details. He gets the short indication (which means it IS either a short or a high current drain for some reason). It only happens when the engine is supposed to go forward, it runs ok in reverse. Sounds like a problem in the locomotive's electroncics. Sounds like he removed the smoke unit and problem solved. There's a moral here someplace. Remember when we used to laugh at the 3 rail O guys with their smoke units and "toy like" sound effects. Now we're into that same stuff and paying the price with problems like that above.
