I moved the text to here as it seems to have gotten disconnected from the pictures...

Based on the size of your layout simply adding a second power supply should solve any issues.

All digital layouts have problems when more than 3 cars run on them when they are of any length with only one power supply.

If you still have trouble it is worth checking the connections;

as jumper/booster cables won't help if the connections are poor.

Hi thanks for your reply... it is actually hooked up to 2 power supplies... I'm gonna check all connections again maybe reseat the lugs underneath the track and get everything nice and tight again... thank you again. Adam...;)
