Hi all --
My favorite was the painted brass car that had an intermittent short which
developed after many hours of running. I made sure all wheels were
insulated on the same side so no power could cross between wheelsets or
trucks. It still persisted. Turned out that the flange of one wheelset
per truck was making contact on the air line piping which changes sides of
the car. The only thing I could do (other than going to plastic wheels)
was some surgery on the air line, as bending it was not working (too close
to a cross member on the underbody)...
Have fun!

Ed, is totally correct in that you can't do too much to assure good
operation. However, there is always a few things that will pop up when
you least expect it.
