I used the remote commander on my son's track layout around his room. I bought a cheap terminal bus from a local electrical supply store. I ran the wire from the red peg to the terminal and then a wire to each of the 4 blocks on the track. I used fastrack and just used a Dremel tool and cut the center rail to isolate the sections. It sounds like you are losing the signal as the train goes around the track and running multiple blocks should fix this. I would also bet you are underpowered. If you isolate sections of your track, you can definitely run separate power to each section. The outside rails don't need to be isolated, just the center. Also, fastrack is notorious for losing power from section to section on the center rail. This can be fixed by slightly bending the tabs on the center rails so they make better contact. I also use just a little bit of conductive grease, like what you use for battery terminals, from a local auto parts store. This helps improve the signal and power from track section to track section.
