Okay, I'm getting three competing theories and I'm not sure which one I should be listening to. Let me try to answer your questions first. I *think* I was seeing walking oooo's - it flashed across the screen so quick I could barely tell. At the time of the short, everything moving was doing so only across switches lined for the straight, trailing position. And all the frogs are plastic - should be pretty hard to short with nothing derailed, right? As for the SW9, the last time we were having this short was when there were three DCC-equipped locomotives moving, another two or three DCC-equipped locos sitting on the tracks, but no DC locos on the layout. I'm going to grab every DCC-equipped loco I have and do some tests. I'll run them on the switches, on regular track, and see if I can repeat the problem. If I can't, I'll try adding the SW9 to see what happens. I'll report back soon.
