[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by BNSFNUT You could be losing power to sections because of rail jointers not conducting electricity. This is not a rare occurance. You said that you were finshing the layout, if you have put down ballast the glue or even dust can get into a jointer and cause a bad connection. Soldering the jointer or puting a jumper around each jointer. I usualy solder the jointer when it fails. [/quote] I agree and you may also want to check your feeders, make sure they're soldered really good, no cold solder joints, also the further away from the power pack these are, you may have to go one size larger in gauge to off set voltage drop. Hope this helps.
