I've had a FasTrack layout sitting on some benchwork for a few weeks now (first layout, FYI). Up until now, I've had all the wired-controllers for the Fastrack turnouts sitting next to each turnout just like they came out of the box. Everything is under track power- one PH 180. I played around with the layout for a few weeks and everything seems to work great. I want to permanently wire the layout and route all the turnout switch-controllers back to one spot where the transformer is. I just did that with one of the switch-controllers. It's about 20 feet away from the turnout. I used 4 conductor phone wire. The controller operates the turnout but it is no longer lit red/green. I don't have a meter but I supect this is a voltage issue from the long run? Maybe? But the turnout works fine so I don't know. The lamp on the turnout itself is lit. I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this. Thanks for your help.
