Hi all,
I have come across a problem with my layout.
It comes off my main line into a loading bay - engine shed type of area.
The problem is where 2 sets of points are joined with the bottom of the "Y's" are together. ie they form a squashed looking "X"
From one of the points there is another point forming 3 parallel rails.
It all works except when points is not in the rail favour the buffers don't light. -fair enough.
But when I put in the dcc springs the whole siding springs burn out.
They all work well until the last 2 springs are fitted.
They are hornby points - can a fault in the points cause this.? I have looked at the +ve/-ve rails (it is dcc) and they seem to be continuous.
It is a mystery!
Any suggestions will be tried.
Thanks
