Right. I am tried to figure that out in the last few days. At one point I thought I knew which side the problem was. But, now I can unhook one side at the light on the lock-on stays on and then reconnect and the unhook the track on the other side and the light stays on. So the power is currently sneaking through on both sides.
Like I said earlier, if I disconnect the track on one side and completely take out the track with the contact removed and run two wires to connect the outside and center rails where the missing track would be, then the lock-on light turns on. It seems to me that this would be the ultimate way to isolate the track with no chance of an accidental connection via the outside rail. Does this make sense? To my non-electrian/non-trainman mind, it does not. Thanks again for your help. My son is no longer in tears as he has given up on this working. Now only dad is crying.
