Mark, I did get an early start and I needed it! LOL
Mitch, Nice work, I am sure you will get it to up to your standards!
Well guys as you know I got up early to get out to the train room to try and figure out my troubles. Well I figured it out, Bob was right it was a miss matched wire. But I didn't find it till I added so many extra drops and replaced the curve where the engine kept stopping! Once I found it everything was a go and I guess it doesn't hurt to have extra power drops! LOL Here is what it looked like before I got a chance to clean things up.
After I got everything cleaned up I took every DCS engine I have which is 4 lol and ran them all on all tracks and there was no problem with any of them. So needles to say I am happy, just sucks it took me all day, but now I can move on with my list!
I hope everyone had a great weekend!

30 + years as an electrician it's always the wires.......
Happy to help Mike. Even from 3000 miles away.
Really! It’s true! In telecom we used to say, how can a two wire circuit be so hard to troubleshoot? Then work on a four-wire circuit!! Wow!
Bob the switcher looks good, sounds good!
