Issue Solved????

So after about 3 hours...I cleaned my track (again) checked/my serial data wire from my command base. Solder the radio board to the actual board (Lionel does that now). Replaced the Prog/Run switch. This improved but didn’t solve the issue.

I took apart the handrails and found the insulators that go through the shell had corrosion (I’m guessing left over flux from when they soldered the wires to hand rails) dripping onto the shell casting creating a very faint “short”.

I removed the insulators through the shell and soldered fresh wire on them, then added a thick layer of heat-shrink to act as a new insulator....its working as of right now...I’m going to continue some more testing, and remove the shell a few more times to make sure that I fixed the problem.

But its very promising this was the issue.
