I started setting up a train a few days ago and have been unable to get it running. I setup a simple track, 8 curved and 8 straight pieces. The train system is a 027 guage. The very first time I set it up, without reading the instructions, I know I did it wrongly: I attalhed the lockon to the two outer rails, using the inner lip and terminals as clips. After reading the instructions and realizing the correct way, I still cant get it to go. I thought at that point that I may have froed the transformer. However, I grabbed my tester, tested across the terminals, unattached to the line, and got 3 - 4 volts. I then tested each track piece and got reading. I hooked the oval up without trains and got reading. As soon as I put the locomotive on the track, though, that is where I get no reading. Any help would be appreciated.
