since i don't know you it's pretty hard for me to tell how dumb you are
.
but since you've figured out what the problem was and how to fix it , i have to guess that you're not as dumb as you thought
Things like that happen to ALL OF US, whether we want to admit it or not. There may be Master Model Railroader, but not God Model Railroaders.

Its not like this is my first layout
I am down to a 2' X 8' shelf layout HO (9 code 83 Atlas switches) using there cheap junk controllers just to get up and running. Had a series of 2 controllers, 3 controllers and 4 controllers at diffrent places. Could not throw any of the switches past the first controllers. Trouble shooted everything and nothing worked. By the way, I also solder all my connections and even the track.
Well come to find out it was a simple problem and I feel so stupid. I didn't have the metal power connectors real tight, I mean real tight like they are now. Problem solved. All 9 switches are throwing now.
Thanks for everybodys help. I love this Forum!!!!!!!!!! DON
