HO trains won't run.

  • this is my HO train setup in my basement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_pB2GHDppno worked great for a year. I have 20 locomotives and 3 trolleys. Then one day, nothing..... The trains won't run, they all will light up, but will not move. So I bought  many many new power packs (16). same issue. So I took my trains over to my friends house, they work. Bought a Track Voltage Tester that I test all over the layout, it passed with flying colors. I had my neighbor the electrician put his volt meter on it the track in different areas, no problem.  I took the entire track apart, cleaned everything and reassembled, still nothing.  It's been 3 years since it's worked.  I'm stumped. What should I try next?

    If you ever fall over in public, pick yourself up and say “sorry it’s been a while since I inhabited a body.” And just walk away.
