<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I have checked all connections and everything seems fine-as I say,switching cabs is fine on all sections until I operate the poitsjoining circuits,then 7 and 8 are dead. If you think the wiring on the points could be the problem,I will lift them and try and ascertain.I don't get any sign of shorting from the controller,and the inner track stays live up to point and beyond the next insulation. Just so long as the position of feeds and insulations seems OK?
Hi There.
When you switch the crossover points does the loco stop no matter where it is on the layout or does it happen only in section 7 or 8 ?
It's a real puzzle but the answer is probably quite simple.
I presume that you have 8 different sections. Switch off all the sections.
Then starting with section 1, switch it on & test to see if you have power in that section. Make sure that all other sections are switched off.
Go through all the sections in this way & see if each section works individually.When testing a section make sure that all the other sections are switched off.
Let us know how you get on.
