The "time aspect" of things can be most annoying. Some locos will run for 15
minutes and then develop all kinds of intermittent short circuit problems.
Usually, the problem is the mechanical touching/rubbing of moving/rotating
parts. For a while, the paint prevents a short circuit. After a few minutes
of rubbing, the paint is worn through and bare metal touches bare metal and the
train stops dead in its tracks (literally). Everyone stands around scratching
their heads because nothing has changed and yet the problem is evident. I like
the idea of running new trains in a dark room while watching for the sparks.
At least you know then where to aim your efforts at fixing things. Having fun
yet...Ed L.
