Also Barry's book showed up today and just skimming through it I'be learn a few things to try. I feel like I see light at the end of the tunnel.

Again thanks for everyone's help.

A dcs track signal between 3 &5 on a 40 inch piece of track is not a good thing.

It could be a dirty track ,engine pickups. or a faulty TIU... Take a look on the bottom of the tiu. There was a bad batch of tiu around 2008 that put out a low dcs signal... If your Tiu is I3A it could be one of them. . Hope not.
