Question: I purchased a PW 275 ZW transformers and currently have 3 separate tracks running off it.  I have a 1033 that I want to run my switches/activations sections/crossing gates off of for my inner track which is run off of the "D" post on the ZW. I ran a wire from the "U" post on the 1033 then to the "A" post on the "ZW" and one from "A" post on the 1033 to the "common" on the "ZW".  I got no spark. I turn the 1033 on to run the accessories but when I run my train off on the ZW, I have to turn the voltage off on the 1033 for the train to completely stop?????  Another question:  Can I run my accessories of the "C" post on the ZW rather than using another transformer? Do I have to phase post "D" to post "C" on the ZW if I do this?  I'm fairly new to this and appreciate any input you can give me.

Also what type of track and switches are you using...if they are 022 and you are using the constant voltage plug make sure the plug is really inserted correctly to isolate the center rail for the switch...otherwise you will have carry over current flowing from the switch internals to the track loop from the 1033.  Make sure the plugs are not damaged.
