Digital Track will not work after extension

[ColinB]

Sounds like you have a short somewhere. What sort of points are you using?  The thing to remember with digital, although there is no longer a plus and minus 12 volt supply, the dcc signal has a plus and a minus, so you still get the same issues if plus touches minus. With my layout the biggest issue was having two loops one inside the other connected together via crossover points. If you have this arrangement then make sure you use insulated fishplates on the parts of points that join the loops together.

Hi, you cant send photo, as system to do so is Kaput.. If you have any points, have you put in the metal springy clips.

Picture posting is fixed John.

 

As stated a picture or sketch of the new layout as it sounds like you have built a reverse loop into the plan.

Jimben,

You asked a virtually identical question in August. In that version of the question you added that your power track was the analogue R8206. Did you perform the connector modification as advised.

Come on, John. We're aching to see some photos of your big layout and Helix. Also some of the very rare locos that I know you have collected.  Pretty please !!  Or get one of those young nippers to help ?
