Hi All,
A few weeks ago this forum was very helpful with the baseboard and planning phase of the layout I was building for my son. Things have moved on and the layout is complete, though it is not without a couple of teething problems. Small locomotives (shunters and the like) have a habit of sticking on the frogs of points. The points are Hornby and have been made live with the little staple thingies. The sticking doesn't happen every time (around 75%) and only happens when the point is switched to the turn-out.
There are also other occasional short-circuits where the a train (again only the little ones) will die on a seemingly random piece of track. After a nudge the train will take off again and probably never stop at that section again.
Any advice on these short circuit problems is much appreciated.
The layout is controlled by DCC.
Cheers,
Greig
