Yes, they had dynamics, yes they would blow a fuse, and YES, sometimes a Pepsi can replaced the fuse. They were the first of the TA's SMEE's ... couldn't play with the arnines at all. And yes, all you said but they were also tough old birds and they'd just spin their wheels until the rest of the train got up to speed.

Always honked me off when the dispatchers would yell at us for full parallel on CPW ("you morons are eating up the tracks and points!") ... uh yeah, go talk to the Arten guys. :(

But yeah, all you said. Grounded Shoe Beam has some interesting audio recordings of what would result from Artens "doing their thing." I'm sure he'll post now that I've put the teaser up top so you can hear the typical "skreek-thud-*BANG*!!!" for yourself. :)
