Jim S posted:Hi Dave, good to hear from you. No other cars or locos on that side of the layout. Just 2 powered blocks, one for each handle. No signal at all on one side of the layout. I think my next move will be to ensure that the two sides of the layout are indeed isolated from each other, tear apart the terminal blocks and reconnect each feed one at a time and see if that will solve the problem.
Why not lower the handle for the good signal power district and remove the power. Now, there should only be the trouble signal power district with power. That should tell you if the power districts are isolated and limit the troubleshooting area.
How many feet of track are we talking about?
Did you change anything recently ?
did the problem just begin?
Since there is power in the no signal district, you only need to troubleshoot the hot wire for the signal loss. There wouldn't be voltage if it was a common wire problem.
Are you using the MTH terminal boards for distribution?
