I am having a lot of trouble with the power routing turnouts. I wired a turnout and only one side had power. I had to run extra feeders to the other side to get power. This defeats the purpose of the power routing turnouts. What is the deal? I don't want to have to put in a lot of extra gaps and feeders just to get my layout to work. Sigh.... <br /> <br />Also, if anyone is thinking of detailing a section of their layout before wiring, DO NOT DO IT!!!!! I was intimidated by the wiring so I decided to detail this small 2X6 section of the layout. No big deal, it's a small section. Wrong! Now I am trying to wire it and it is horrible. Fortunately we will be moving in a couple of years and this layout is the practice layout. I can work out all of my mistakes here and nothing will go wrong with the next one. HA HA. <br /> <br />Seriously, this wiring has got me down. If anyone has any advice on power routing turnouts, let me know. According to the wiring books ya only need a couple of feeders for the common rail. BS!!!!
