MikeMendoza22 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 So UPS just delivered my new train along with the V1 package. Got it all set up last night, the train (Super Chief) runs great!! Here is my only problem so far.... The turnouts work fine when going through the passing track, but as soon as I put both switches to straight, the train stops! Any ideas?? Mike Link to comment
katoftw Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) the power feed isn't within the passing loop is it? if it is, then move the feed to outside the turnouts. you dont want the power feed between the turnouts. Edited April 4, 2014 by katoftw Link to comment
MikeMendoza22 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Yes it is. Is that the problem? Silly me Link to comment
katoftw Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 yeah the turnouts route power to the direction you have the track switched to. Link to comment
MikeMendoza22 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 That did it, I knew it had to be something simple!! Lol I need longer wires, does kato make extensions, or should I just buy a bunch of wire and slice it in? Link to comment
katoftw Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 yup they make 90cm extensions. part number 24-841. or 3 way 90cm extension and use 1 switch for both turnouts, part number 24-827. Link to comment
