Need Help With My Train Layout
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, December 29, 2003 12:20 PM
I am currently making a new O-27 Scale train set. I am running 2 lines of track around my pieces of ply wood, the problem that I am having is that I have a train yard on the left side of my 2 lines of track Shown here, . Now getting my right line into is fine, but getting my line 2 is the problem, I just putting in a cross track when I turn on my train with the cross track in both lines are powered by the one controller, I have 4 of the controls that came with my train sets, on the bottom of the crossover track there’s a metal piece, I tried to remove it, and the problem I ran into there, is that there is no power leading to the part that leads to the train yard, shown here the green is where the track gets power because the power is coming from both ends of the track that connect to it, the red has no power because the track that connects to the red pieces has no power because it just ends since it’s the train yard. Can anyone help me; get the crossover track to work with powering line 1 and 2 with one control? The Track I am using is Lionel and some K-Line The Crossover track, and the switch tracks are created by Lionel. Please Help Me, Thanks!
