Reply to "Lionel Legacy Base Causing DCS Signal Problems - Resolved -"

Fields and waves.  I suspect the legacy rf signal was inducing noise on the closely run wires. You may have heard at some time that it is a good idea to cross wires at 90 degrees, that is why. Sounds like you got the wires separated now.

I really admire how you stuck to this issue and seem to have learned a lot more about debugging your layout.

I recall a situation years ago at a plant where I worked. During some major expansion the electrical contractors ran low voltage control wires in the same tray as the high voltage power lines, everything running parallel. The controls wires were to variable speed pumps and there was no control. Even pros make this mistake.
