<p>I ran 6 power feeders around the layout, and there's one about 18" away from where the trouble spot is.  There are no insulated sections.  Here's what I suspect is happening.  I suspect there is a little bit of flex in the X over.  I can't confirm it since I don't know what a crossover looks like on the underside, but I suspect that there are connections to the various pieces that are insulated from each other by the plastic rail portion of the Xover.  I think that one or more of these has cracked. </p><p>I've been taking a HO street light, putting it on the rails to see where I have power and where I don't and it's just the diamond of the X over that's dead.  Power is everywhere else. </p>
