<p>I think I experienced a too much power episode. Had a Hartland 4-4-0 split a switch with the tender truck ending up crossways, shorting the power supply, an MRC 6200.</p><p>Before I could shut the power down, the plastic housing holding the pickup wipers on the tender truck melted, and the pack shorted a diode. </p><p>End result: new pickup assembly needed for the tender truck, and a new diode to replace the shorted one in the 6200.</p><p>Now it can be argued that a larger supply, the MRC isn't robust but will easily run any three of my small engines, would have tripped the circuit protector and everything would be hunky-dory, but I wouldn't know how to test that theory nor would I want to bet the ranch on it. </p><p>Art </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
