Reply to "Updated Track Suggestions Needed"

Much appreciated Dave C. A bit more info...The engine yard is on a relay that I can shut all power down to it so the engines dont sit with the chronos running etc. When I shut the engine yard off and check the DCS signal, there is no change from when the engine yard is on. I also have a second smaller inner loop on the main loop. Do you think it is better to place the smaller inner loop on its own TIU channel or the engine yard? I have cleaned the track and have used a good PS3 engine from the upper loops to test track. same readings. However, I have not cleaned the engine or rolling stock wheels in some time. So I will do that this weekend. My loops are all broken down into track blocks with center rail insulated. I have some outside rail insulated sections to activate some lighted switches and crossing gates etc. This would not affect the DCS signal or would it? I also have these outside insulated sections on the upper loops for signal activation with no affect on the DCS signal readings. I have switched out TIU channels thinking an ACT 244 chip was going bad, no change on the main loop DCS signal readings.
