These models can cause an intermittent short. According to Bill Winans, the cause is a lack of bearing restraint in the frame allowing too much lateral movement. Bill used Kadee insulating washers between the outside crank and the frame to limit lateral motion. He cut a small slice from the washer to allow it to snap onto the axle; over the years, they have not come undone.
