For example, you have a short and the circuit breaker kicks in for that section. Then you may not be able to control a loco running elsewhere... :-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ColinColin 't Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623835285718803326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057579729722284150.post-52015494850235380662010-11-24T04:58:54.534-06:002010-11-24T04:58:54.534-06:00I hooked up track power to the rail A & B term...I hooked up track power to the rail A & B terminals of the UP5 panels and that also seems to fix the problem. I will still be adding the separate power supply.<br /><br />Darylgenevasubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864968947731266093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3057579729722284150.post-57880465668055451512010-11-24T04:35:11.890-06:002010-11-24T04:35:11.890-06:00Hi Darryl,
