I have been emailing Carl and he has been quite helpful and Looking to the Forum for advice...I have four loops, no switches, Loop three is completely elevated.  I have a ERR board in my #322 Hudson and it runs great on tracks one and two, had to install a loop of wire for a ground plane tied to the trestles.  I have even run a wire from the command base to the far end were the trans is for loop four.  I put down a ground plane loop between tracks one and two completely around and is grounded to the water pipe.   The engine I am having trouble with is my 48075 EP5, I put the Mighty Mite board in it and it runs good on track one and two,  Haven't tested on track three, the elevated.  Now here is the strange part,  when I connected the .22 caps to the power feeds for the track four, it kills the power on that track.  If I jump them out with test clips, power is restored.  I ran a loop of ground plane on the outside of loop four but engine just sits there.  will run fine in conventional with command base off.  I tried about 6 different caps and they all seem to block power from trans to track.    I am really at the end of this problem, I have been dealing with it for four days and ready to pull my hair out, but I am sure we have all had that problem before...Am I missing something???????????????????

Marty,

Here is one more empty head thought, I have run into problems where I would be floored, I did every thing just as it needed to be done (wiring) and the project would not work. I checked it all out and every thing was right, I could see no error. I went back took it all apart and started from scratch, rewired it and found as I went along where I had made a mistake. This stuff is pretty simple but sometimes I was just not seeing what I was doing amiss. 

Just a thought.

Ray
