Problem with current on sidings

[RobertInOntario]

Hi Rob,
I'm not sure, but I think I read that you're only feeding power to the track in one spot? If that's the case, is your rail all soldered or are you relying on track joiners to feed the power around the layout? The way you describe how it's fine right after its fixed, but then slowly gets worse, makes me think that something is working its way loose. You might add some additional track feeders and see how that goes.

Thanks, Andrew. I'll try that or at least experiment by putting extra wires feeds on the track. However, I'm still thinking that there is a short appearing somehow, mainly b/c the short light lights up on the transformer. The track is soldered in a few places but not continuously along the track.

On a different topic my wife & I had to visit the Connaught Cadet Training Centre in Nepean this summer (to pick up our son from cadets training camp). En route, we managed to visit the railway museum at Smith's Falls -- it's quite a nice museum. I'd like to visit on one of their running days.

Cheers, Rob
