Ok. Here is the situation. I have separated the tracks from the lock-on track and I have a light up coach on the track to the right in the photo (connection D, E, and F).
I turn the track power on with the SPDT selected to the outside line, so no power is going to this line. The light on the lock-on is off.
If I connect the D connection wit a wire nothing happens. If I connect the E connection, the light on the coaches turn on. If I connect the F connection, the light on the lock-on turns on.
When I connect either A, B, or C, nothing happened initially. I reconnected the track to the left at this connection and still the light on the lock-on did not light up. So, I'm thinking power is leaking through the isolation to the DEF side. Then I placed a light up coach on the track to the left and I got sparks (which surprised me) when I tried to place the car on the tracks. When the lights on the coach light up, the light on the lock-on turns on. As I move the coach so the lights go out on the coach, then light will also go out on the lock-on. In other words, the lights on the coach and lock-on are both on, then I lean the coach sideways so it is no longer making contact and then the lock-on light will also go out.
Then, I want back and disconnected the ABC connection with the light up coach to the left. Now, the coach stays lit and when I connect the C connection with a wire, the lock-on lights up.
Any ideas???
