Hello all
I could use some advise.
First , givens of my layout:
8 X12, all fastrack
3 separate parallel loops. (subway layout)
currently 6 manual 036 switches, more to be added later.
currently using a Z1000
Will add DCS.
I did set up DCS in a basic manner to see if it works and gain some familiarity with the remote. I accomplished that.
Issue I am experiencing is the Z1000 tripping . (breaker engages). At this time I have only one of the t3 tracks powered up. The train does power up, then after a few seconds, @30, the circuit breaker trip in the Z1000. I have tried both Proto Sound power cars and conventional, same issue.
What I have done: cleaned the track; checked all track properly connected; wires from track to the Z1000 are secure. Being somewhat of an electrical novice, I am not sure what else it could be. I did create drops @every 8-10 feet in anticipation of the wiring for the DCS. I checked those connections and they are secure, even made sure of the positive and ground are in the proper positions.
Any assistance / advise is greatly appreciated !
Thank you all in advance !
