Reply to "CAB-1L & Base-1L problems"

Thanks Michael, I like the caboose idea and will try it. I do have 2 track power connections on the old track platform with one by the powerhouse and the 2nd furthermost away. When I had the cab 1 & base 1, all 5 trains worked using my 2 -arm bandit that I purchased in the early 1950s to power the track. I did not operate the trains for over a year during the Covid 19 . Then I had the problem with 3 of my trains so I upgraded to the Cab 1-L, base 1-L & powerhouse.  First, I will try to get NY Central to move normal in both directions. Then I will try to get the trains to operate on my old track platform.
