Engine Won’t Move and Light just Flickers

Roger posted his O gauge model 8644 question:

“I was pulling 11 cars yesterday and today the engine just sits there and the light flickers on and off, pulsating trying to move. I’m thinking I shorted it out. I ran other engines on the track to be sure the track is good. Thanks.”
