Joel...it's NOT the SPDT toggles, contrary to the first 'answer' you received. The DPDT in a standard common-rail block setup just gives you an extra unused pole / side, that you can use for panel lights, or fixed indicator signals, etc. The SPDT should work fine. In my own section of cab control, I use a Tech 2 #2400, and a Tech 4 #250 without the problem you describe. I would be tempted to disconnect that Elec Trak cleaning system from the circuit, and see if you have the same problem. This is the easiest first test to try. (I am totally unfamiliar with that product, but somone else may respond on it ). If getting the cleaning system off the circuit DOESN'T correct the problem, then it's likely in the track or wiring, it will be necessary to recheck these.Let us know please. The Atlas book suggested in you first 'answer' is a nice book, but not necessarily what you need unless you use all-Atlas components, which you do not. regards / Mike
