Does anyone have suggestions for a problem I am having with my small 027 layout? This is a door-sized layout with a figure 8 within an oval and one short spur to unload passengers at the station. I'm using 5 remote switches for this layout (65-122 & 65-121). The problem is (I think) with the non-derailing function of these remotes. I simply cannot run the new Lionel locomotives I just bought, and can only run my pre-war locomotives with the switch in the "only forward/only reverse" position. The engines short out with all the anti-derailing going on and stop dead in their tracks. It seems at least to me - a novice at model railroading. Can something be done in the wiring process to eliminate all this shorting going on? Or do I re-sell all my 027 stuff and go to FasTrack only? Thanks. -Mark
Suggeest you take the question to the Model Railroad forums. This is a forum for 1:1 scale memories.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
Better yet all questions Lionel related should go to the Classic Toy Trains forum, thats where the Lionel buffs are mostly.
Have fun with your trains
I'll move this thread for you.
