A Solution for Athearn Diesel Short Circuits
Robert M shares this tip:
“I have a couple of DC Athearn HO scale diesels that periodically stop while running around a bend. The ‘?’ shaped contact on the truck under these conditions will make contact with the metal plate of the other polarity on the truck. I found by bending it slightly at the base away from the metal plate solves the problem.”
