Good morning, I started this thread over in the Lionel tmcc / legacy section but thought it may be better to post it here also.
Problem 1......
My dad bought a Railking 9 1 1 engine, MTH item number 30-20361-1e and when we put it on the track for the first time it ran great except when it went over a Lionel 90 degree cross over. The front of the engine would go over it fine but when the back of the engine went over it then it would stop. We have tried many different suggestions including changing the track from a switch to the crossover to taking the crossover out and trying a piece of track in its place. Even when the track is there and not the cross over the engine still stops in that place. Could it be the track pins ( insulated pins ) not in the right place?
The crossover is powered by 1 transformer and all 4 sides are getting the same volts but the layout is broken into 2 sections and uses 2 transformers. Both are Lionel Zw's.
Problem 2...
Up until last night the Lionel powermaster which my dad has 2 worked fine and now they do not respond to the cab 1. Is there a way to be able to reset them or get them to respond to the cab 1?
When we noticed it was not working correctly we would try to turn off the power to the transformer by the cab 1 and the light on the switch would not go out, engines would not respond and the 9 1 1 engine would only go backwards. No horn or bell.
Sorry for the long post but I was trying to give as much information as possible. I'm not at my dad's house now but will try to provide pictures later today or this evening.
Thanks for any help you can give. Have a great day...
