Hello Modelers, I've been working on an HO layout in my garage, and I ran into a couple of situations that I was hoping to get help with. a) I used plastic rail joiners to separate the layout into 2 sections, but my steam engine doesn't seem to pass over the plastic rail joiners. I make sure to have power on both sections (in the same direction), but no luck. I believe this is due to the power coming from the tender and the motor being in the loco, but I still don't know what to do. Has anyone ran into this? b) I've got 11 switches on my layout. These are the remote switches with the bulky black housing thing attached. I recently bought an AC 4400, and to my horror the grill (or whatever it's called) at the front of the engine at the very bottom bumps into the switches! I guess I'll have to file the grill down, but I was wondering if anyone else dealt with this problem. Thanks all! Paul
