Just to cover the basics when you say that each variable channel powers one-half of the layout.

Is each half electrically separated from the other ? If you shut down one channel, have you checked the other half of the track with a meter to see if voltage is somehow still passing through ?

Yes they are sperate. Each half will run independant. I have checked each block to make sure they are insulated from each other. I am using the home run type of wiring. No continuity or  voltage from one to the other.

Have you tried swapping variable channels to each half and see if the issue still persists ?

I have not tried this but can't see how that will tell me anything since they both work.

Have you tried using fixed outputs to each half and lowering the voltage using the transformer handles and see if the issue resolves itself ? 

I changed the output to fixed and that is how I am running my DCS engines. Works fine.
