Reply to "Innerloop no Power"

You may need to put a set of feed on a lock-on on the inner loop. There are two things working against you here:

  1. The MTH lock-on only connects to one outside rail
  2. The MTH RealTrax switches lose the common on the innermost rail of the turnout for non-derail purposes. When you put two switches together for a crossover you have lost the outside rail for the inner loop\

test this with a continuity test (no track power) of the outside rails of the outer loop to the outside rails of the inner loop. You should have no continuity,

The answer may be to put a 40-1068-2 10" ground track in the outer loop. This ties both outside rails to common and you only need one lock-on.

Another option is the one that mentioned first - add a lock-on to the inner loop on the opposite side of the lock-on on the outer loop.

You don't have a major problem - just some nuances of a track system
