Hi Guys, <br /> <br /> I have a small problem that is holding me back from completing my layout. I have a mainline that runs fine. My 2nd mainline that is on one half of my mountain area has its own wiring. It ran fine till I put rail jointers on my lift out panel to smooth the track where my grade up the mountain started. I am running DC. Does anyone have a clue what would be shorting this out. I lost all rail power on the 2nd line, and my street, house lights go dim when I power the 2nd throttle to main 2. The track is cut where it enters the mainline. <br /> <br />thanks
