Kann es sein, dass der Altü Leuchtmelder (Achslagertemperaturüberwachungs Leuchtmelder, in english: Axle temperature control lamp) an ist und dir deshalb der Hauptschalter rausfliegt???? Denn die Achslager werden bei hohen Belastungen, Geschwindigkeiten vor allem beim "Transformer" auf 140 sehr schnell heiß.
Auszug aus dem englischen Manual von vR:
Axle temperature control:
The six axles of the locomotive are heating up during movement. Especially when you aredriving on a curvy track, pulling heavy trains or high continuous power. There is no blowerwhich can cool down the axles. There is a light in the cab to show you an axle overheats.It is named AltÜ and lights up when one axle passes 120°C. You should reduce your speeduntil the light goes out. If you do nothing the main switch will trip and you have to wait untilthe AltÜ goes off. This happens when the axles have cooled down to 90°C. After that youcan switch main switch to on and use the regulator again.The axles will heat up much faster when the transformer switch is set to 140km/h.
EDIT: Could it be, that the waggons are loaded. Because normaly 8 waggons are not too heavy for this loco.
