Help! <br /> <br />I am wiring my layout and I am having problems. I haven't switced to DCC yet so I am wiring blocks for two cab controls. I started with a complex industrial area of the layout and wired all the toggle switches and connected everything to the power pack to test it. I got nothing. Then I threw a turnout and some of the track got power. After adding some extra common rail feeders more track became powered. Some of the track works only if I clamp the turnout rail tightly to the main rail. I cleaned all of the turnouts but still they won't work unless I clamp them. Should I just keep adding more feeders to the different spurs? This seems to work but I feel that I shouldn't have to do that. HELP!!!
