Question regarding o gauge tubular track and switches

FireWrangler63OGR Forum Member

I finally got back into model railroading after several years off. I always said that when I got my own place I wanted to have a giant layout and now I do but I am running into some trouble and I really enjoy all the great advice on here.

I built a table 16 x 12 and it is basically "L" shaped. I am running tubular track, it is what I have collected over the years and I have the kw190 transformer that can run 2 trains.

My problem is that I have right now 17 switches in and I am running constant power to all of them. I see that now I don't seem to getting all the power once I add cars to the engines. I plan on adding more switches, I have several Spurs and yards. I am running all the switches off one side and I wanted to run the accessories off the other side.

Do I need to add more power somehow? I want to have more than just engines going around. Thanks!
