I have a Bachmann Dynamis and it keeps tripping the overload.  I am running a 4-8-2 sound loco from Bachmann  and a Sound switcher loco from BLI.  Would they be too power hungry on one circuit?

A couple of questions regarding a loco I purchased a few days ago. The box included a VHS tape which is supposed to provide instructions, lubrication directions, as well as some history on the locomotive. The tape does not work on my video machine ( in Australia) presumably because it has a UK or US format. Otherwise the loco comes with no instructions. Do you know if Bachmann can provide the contents of this video in a format that I can access? No smoke fluid was enclosed in the shipment. Was it removed to satisfy shipping rules?



I have been struggling to get the sound going on my loco. I have managed to work out that I need a battery in the tender and I think I’ve connected the wires to the loco fine, but there is no sound. When I short the sound connector to the tender the correct whooshing noise comes out. But, it seems that there is a problem with the loco in providing the necessary short circuits as the wheels go round. Maybe I’m missing something here, but I suspect strongly that there is a manufacturing fault with the loco. I would like to get this system operating properly. Please advise on all of the above.
