Bill, Turn the lights off in the room while running the engine, the sparks are seen very easily. Ed Sauers

Sometimes you can get lucky as it will throw a spark at the offending area. Of course I was not that lucky. After a few different 10 minute spurts of trying to find the short I got frustrated and ripped off the tender brake shoes SURE that was it. HAH! Nope not it. A piece of heat shrink tubing on the drawbar moved allowing it to intermittently short at the rear of the loco. UGH! Patience is what is needed!
