I am new to designing layouts and have set up a complex layout with back to back turnouts I am using the Lionel 022 turnouts and have 11 on a 4x8 layout. I am having conflicts btween some of the swithces and at the moment using track power . Should I change to separate transformer adn use the fixed voltage posts? How do I get the trunouts to work correctly with some chattering when a use a switch.

I could use a little help

IT sounds like you do not have all your insulated pins instaled.
