New to the whole model railroading hobby. Got an N scale Bachmann starter set for kicks. Thought it was a blast. So I bought some more EZ Track and a couple switches - one left and one right - and created a big "creative" layout one night on a 4 X 6 piece of plywood. The outer loop runs fine. But whenever I try to switch to the inner figure-8 type loop the train stops. As soon as I manually (or electronically) hit the switch for the engine to take a right instead of continue going straight, the train stops. And if I try to start the train off in the inner loop, it doesn't run. It only works on the outer loop. What's the deal? Like I said, I'm totally new to this. I realize I probably have to do some type of wiring. Please help me so I can start playing with my trains again. [:)]
