Scott-1231528 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Hornby problem.mp4 Hi all, I'd really value some advice that could help me get this track working for my son. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but have read the manuals multiple times. If anyone can help point out my mistakes and how to remedy them I'd be very grateful. Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What About The Bee Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Inner and outer loops have inverted polarity. When you switch the points, you create a dead short. You need to have same polarity on inner and outer loops. I can see the track clip is 180° out inner vs outer. Insert track clips from same side (outside or inside). Also, it is not terrific practice to have two independent power supplies cross connected. They need to be isolated Put insulating fishplates (track connectors) between the points that take you from inner to outer loop Bee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
