Good evening gents! I am having some good progress on my wiring this evening. I have been wiring up my switches, got two trains running at once(no big deal for many of you but for this beginner it was pretty exciting), and so forth. I ran into a problem when the layout plans called for the connection of two switches to one switch controller. For those of you who want to see exactly what I am talking about you can refer to the atlas up and over dogbone layout and see switches #3. In this case I ran both the 3N's together and then into the switch control, same for the r's and the common. You get the point. When I test the switch controller, both switches respond slightly but don't actually throw the bar(it is not getting hung up on cork or anything). BTW, I am using a separate power source for switches so I am guessing it is a pretty isolated problem probably relating to the reverse loop issue where these switches are located. Can anyone help in very simple terms? Am I on the right track - no pun intended?Thanks!
