By new engines. Meant. New to the layout. Looking back. I could have left that sentence out.
I agree. A layout this large needs to be blocked. My suggestion was just to not power up 15 of the 16 blocks. Just leave one powered up for testing only. A programming track would work. I just figured he already has one in place.
From what I gather from the original post. It all worked good enough at one time and some engines have no issues other than what seems to be a bad track signal in spots. I think you have to get one good working engine with a perfect 10 in one block. Then proceed and test each one. Tweak as needed. Rule out the layout and then proceed to the engines.
