I started my first layout in December and committed to DCC. Connected a MRC Prodigy and soon learned I needed more flexibility. At this point my layout had power to tracks and bumper lights connected to tracks (Life-Like) <br />Bought a LENZ Set 90 with Digitrax power supply that was recommended. <br />There were no changes to the track wiriing. <br />Whith the LH90 connected I get "no" train movement or track bumper lighting. <br />I have tried everything. There is no break in the wiring and the track shows a power reading, but being non-electrical don't know what it means. <br />Using a voltage meter I get the following: <br />.510 when set to ~V, 23.9 when set at a line with three dots and V. When set to Ground? 59/60 and set to 320-3200uA is 40. Last is 32-320 shows 1.5 to 1.4. <br />This tells me the track is getting some power so it can't be the wiring. <br />Any help appreciated.
