WOW! It's been a long time since I worked on the layout. I haven't got any work done on the layout lately since I have Temporarily lost enthusiasm with the layout since I can barely get a train to run.
My main problem comes from the turnouts, I currently I need to hold the switch in position or else the engine will lose power, I assume that using ground throws will fix this?
Another problem I have is the engine will randomly lose power, even when it is on a piece of single flex-track with feeder wires connected, I tried cleaning the track and the wheels of the engine but no luck, I am beginning to think that the engine is too light, so the wheels are barely touching the tracks.
It kind of defeats the purpose of having a layout it I can't run it
