Let's see, you have an unheated shed that's at 12 degrees (F, I'm guessing), that you heat 2 hours before you go out there. 2 hours is probably not Long enough to Warm up everything in the shed, that means the electronics in your power supply ( or DCC system if you have one), the wires will still be quite cold, and the rails will still be cold. That said, cold metal does not transmit DC electrical power as well as Warm metal. so what you're probably expiriencing is DC power lose from the cold metal. I'd suggest you warm the shed longer (not knowing the size of the shed, can't speculate on the time, but You'd really be better off to keep it at a constant temp). Jay
