Thanks for the replies. I was out for a bit. I already had the loco hardwired, and everything was EXACTLY the same as my others that run with no problems. Turns out the frame wasn't grounding on the trucks. I had to remove the paint from the bottom of the frame where it rides on the trucks. Now, everything is fine. The only thing I don't understand is WHY the frame is painted there when the MFG knows that is where electrical contact is required? Oh well, at least it's right now.
