chessie1971 posted:Peter after reading your topic. I think you are having voltage drop on your track and i will try to explain. This what i have found on my track. I would check voltage it would be fine all the way around my loop but what i found out when i was running the train on the track and check voltage at the same time the voltage would be 1 to 3 volts difference fatherest away from the transformer so i run feeder wires and made sure my track was making good connection. I don't have anymore problems with mine. Even thou you have blocks i say you have that problem in block 5.
What are "feeder wires?" My current set-up is star pattern wired (14AWG) to each block's central-most piece of track (each block is 9-11 pieces of track). In most blocks, I have a jumper wire (16 AWG) on one piece of track connecting its outside rails. Thanks.
