Well I thought I had a quick fix. I found a connection that I didn’t secure properly. I fixed that and even switched it out for a new piece of o36 curve but I’m still having issues. The engine and caboose stopped on the 30” straight section before the curve at the top left of the layout and the caboose lights stayed on. I ran it again and it died in the top right corner before the curve section I replaced. I did this twice, lights on the caboose stayed on once and went off once. I’m hoping it’s not the switch itself that’s bad because it shut down right after the switch section. The switches all operate.
overall the track is clean. I removed one bit of carbon from one of the rails with my thumb but it was on an area that isn’t causing any issue.
