Reply to "ZW problem"

I would not be concerned with your wiring you show going under the track the black and white wire in yout picture is telfon coated and has a very good resisteance to NOT being pinched if you use the wire shown that's not your problem. I would suspect as someone said earlier in the forum you might have had an issue with the common wire inside your transformer coming loose or off and one side is trying to feed both sides which can causing strange voltage transients. open up the  zw and test with a VOM not powered up and check continuity between both common ground terminals you SHOULD  not see any resistance . should show dead short which would mean there is not problem but I suspect you will get a resistance which is most likely causing your issue. have you also checked your carbon rollers on the windings they do wear out and are not hard to change! the other thing might be your circuit breaker could be going bad with resistance causing a low voltage when under a load!! trains running on track!

good luck and let us know what you find out!
