On one of my 3 loops of Realtrax, the MTH lockon will only power track from one side. The lockon works fine on the inside rail, but when I attach the lockon to the outside rail, although the lockon light goes on, it does not power the track. I'm using a TIU with 3 fixed channels. The channel that will not allow me to use lockons on both sides of the track, was a variable channel that I turned into a fixed channel. Also, when I power up the TIU, engines that are sitting on the loop in question, power up, and although the engines do not move, the smoke units turn on. I still must start up engines to turn the smoke units off and to begin using all other engine functions. The engines run fine on all of the tracks and all the power bricks are in phase. The TIU is powered by a Z-500 power brick and the three channels are all powered with three separate Z-1000 power bricks. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help anyone may offer.
