joefryfry's layout - The Waynesburg Southern

[joefryfry]

I am having a problem with one of the reverse loops. There is a loop on the lower level that is wired the same way, both with MRC reversers that worked fine on my HO layout. But on this upper level, the train always goes into the loop fine, but stalls on the way out, something pulsates, and then it goes. I may have the insulated gaps too close to the turnout, but I would like some feedback before I start pulling things up. Wait to see the video before you comment. Thanks.

I finally got the revised track layed and hooked up everything. Turns out I was having the same problem. I was easily able to find my Tony's Trains reversers that I got and hooked one of them up and that seemed to fix the problem. Must be the MRC one I had on the upper level went bad somehow. This reverser makes no noise at all when it switches polarity. I may switch the other unit, but why fix it if it's not broken. At least I have a spare. I will post some new pics and a video within the next few days. Thanks all.
