I use an HP C6380 al- in-one printer and Linux to create multi-page PDF's. I've been doing the same as others, keeping a copy on an external drive.

So definitely check  the hardware and software that you have, you may be surprised at what it can do.

That's how my Zephyr acts when there is a short. 

Does this happen with only one loco or all?
If one then there may be a short in the wiring. If all look at the track work and your turnouts.
