Hello all, Being a newbie to the model railroading hobby, I have many, many questions and not enough answers. I started with one of the kits from the hobby shop that had the track, loco, cars, and even a building. I have since bought all the track the store had in inventory and tried many different layouts. The current layout consists of two ovals, an inner and an outer. There are three turnouts, two on the front straightaway and one on the back. I can currently run both locos at once (in opposite directions on opposite loops) but I'm having a hard time switching them. I've put a Visio diagram on my web page that shows the current set up. If there is someone out there with the wiring knowledge and software knowledge, you could copy the .gif file, modify it, then e-mail it back to me. If you can't modify it, it might be possible to describe the best method of correcting the problem. <br />I am using one transformer connected to an Atlas switch (I think it's #210) then into each TR on each loop. As soon as I try to bring one train from the outside loop to the inside loop, both locos stop. I put a turnout on the righthand outer loop that I might insulate and supply with it's own power. Then, I can park one train there while I switch the other from the inner to the outer or vice-versa. Sorry for the long-winded post, but as soon as I get this corrected, I get to move on to the detailing and construction of my mini-city/thriving metropolis. Thanks all!
