track signal question

i had similar problems long ago about one year ago i had my control section in the corner of the cellar was told to move it to a center location which i did, now it is in the center of the table and all is a perfect 10 ,i have one block for the turn table one block for the rail yard one block for the inside loop one block for the 2 outside loops also 18 volt bulbs on each block and everything is perfect the layout is not big 18 feet long 16 feet wide.i guess i was not letting the signal go in a 360 radius around the cellar like a signal would from a radio tower , if that makes any sense.hope this helps

  Is the signal generator the copper coil next to the caps that looks like a choke or inductor? I have been doing all the above with excellent results.

Dave,

Are the Rev L TIU's that much better signal providers, or is it, that I am a much more disciplined DCS layout builder, that no magic lights were needed at all. 

A bit of both, perhaps?

 

I'm sure about the Rev. L. However about you, not so much!

 

Yes. The copper donut. Four connections

Hey I didn't know they still made those Zinger Buddy candy bars.  As I recall, they were expensive.  Enjoy, Barry.
