It's been about a week since any more info has been added to my original inquiry about power strips. A lot of suggestions have been added, and while maybe on the same subject, this thread has gone a bit off track.
The ironic thing about the different approaches I have tried for reliability, at least through one section of track, finding a solution difficult, because of the mixed results. 2 engines stop, almost always, in the same spot at an Atlas turnout. Since replacing this turnout in a permanent section was problematic, I tried less drastic approaches. Finally replaced the turnout with a straight section of track. One engine has run non-stop, forward & reverse, slow & fast dozens of times now. So, what turnout should I replace the Atlas turnout with? I've had no problems with Ross turnouts up to now. Tomorrow I'll test the other engine.
The other 2 problem areas are where parallel tracks at slightly different levels also show signal issues & erratic running.
