Rob:
It may be worth putting n ammeter into the circuit to see what the curent draw is and compare it to the rating of the power pack. Some of those old locos draw quite a bit of current and may be overloading the circuit breaker. Another device to put in is a car tail/brake lamp bulb; this will light up for a heavy draw (show glow faintly for two Dublos double-headed).
