Reply to "Solved all my DCS signal problems by pulling a plug!!!!!"

When I turn on the power with the TMCC base unplugged and DCS on the track the TMCC engines start up but do not move in neutral, but if I had the breaker trip on off if a derailment or something then the trains would take off like a rocket I only tried it to see what would happen with the TMCC trains on the track and the TMCC base unplugged this is where I am getting the signal problems not from the engines sitting on the powered section of track. Thanks for suggestions for now have the base unplugged and TMCC engines off on sidings with power off to sidings can plug in the base to run the TMCC trains and limit what I run in DCS on other tracks. At some point may try to reorganize the railway and change some tracks around so I have a TMCC only loop as many many other DCS trains on the other parts levels of the layout.
