I am 65, old enough, have the money and the time, but apparently not smart enough. Built the the dream 10ft by 6ft layout with brand new fast track, loops, sidings, bridge, 6 switches, one or accessories. All assembled works great, looks good. Now until I get the idea I should power the switches off a sperate transformer. Wired the switches with power red to aux in, black wire from u terminal of transformer to aux ground. 4 of the switches work, two do not. ( does work with track power) however, here is the kick in the pants, every time I go to connect the switch to the rest of the powered track, just as the middle rail touches overload,, short. What did I do wrong? I did as the lionel video states to phase the transformers with a wire connecting the u terminals. What do you all think>
