flemming posted:I have dead spots on this layout my train stops and goes and then stops again would it help adding more wires to a terminal strip from the dead spot how do I keep my train from stopping half way around the layout ??
Assuming the reason the train stops and goes is due to loss of voltage/poor electrical connections, performance can be improved by either running a buss wire and installing drops to the track at different locations or by connecting the transformer outputs directly to a distribution panel and then running wire from the various panel outputs to drops at different locations around the track.
I notice you are using Fastrack and have an elevated section supported by trestles. My experience is that the track flexes a little between the trestles which can cause electrical issues. Connecting drops in these sections and hiding them is difficult, but it can be done by running the wires up along a trestle or through a pier.
You could also hard-wire the Fastrack sections together, but that is a lot of work and makes taking track out (for expansion, changes, etc.) difficult, if not impossible.
