I just installed a decoder in a brass sharknose and It has a short that occurs when the locomotive is placed in speed step 1 in either direction. It does not short until this is done. The light works and the headlight function works fine, but when speedstep is applied it shorts out and trips the circuit breaker to the track. I can't find any wiring problems but I am wondering if this is a problem with brass locomotives. I found a few shorts when I was checking the locomotive before I installed the decoder. (this is install 65 or 66 so I am not new to this)
