I am having difficulty wiring a Walthers double crossover. Do I use jumper wires and if so where?

Craig, your best bet is a small volt/ohm meter. Something that reads AC, DC and also has an Ohm setting. This way you can attach one lead to the track then test out the other parts of the same track to figure out if there is a need for a jumper. One of the handiest little gadgets you can have working with small or large power for that matter....Walt

Craig, You should be able to pick up an inexpensive one at Radio Shack or on eBay. Get a pocket type, about the size of a pack of cigaretts. The big ones are too clumsy to work with on a layout and are basically only for bench work....Micro Max has some kind of a small continutity tester also but I think a small multi-meter is best....Walt
