Hi. I am brand new to the hobby. I have a CS3 plus with a 60045 Power Pack. I connect to a bus and then feeder wires to K Track. Loco goes very slow, not responding to the control to increase speed, and has stopped at 2 different locations on track with an Overload message on CS3+ screen. I would really appreciate any help as to what I have done wrong.Blushing
Thanks, SteveBlushing

can you show us in a diagram what you mean by the connections you have made?
Is it a digital loco?

Did you set power pack 60045 at 19 VDC?
There is a lever that you choose two different voltages.
CS3+ must feed only at 19 VDC.

It was converted to digital by a Marklin Dealer and tested on his layout.
