Bob et al --
I have had the same situation. During one of our operating sessions on my
NYW&B, my RS-1 inexplicably shorted on a turnout that had been trouble-free.
Not finding anything wrong with the turnout, I turned the RS-1 upside down and
noticed that the gearbox cover screws had their paint worn off. (The RS-1 sits
atop an AM RS-3 chassis.) So I used a Dremel cut-off disk to grind the
screwheads down just a bit so they wouldn't rub on the closure rails. That was
suffucient to eliminate the short. I guess the paint prevented shorts until it
wore through.
