What am I seeing? (electrical problem)

Hi Tom,

Can't work in the sun due to prescription drugs I am taking.

I think that I may have identified your problem. You are stumbling around in the dark while on drugs.

Sorry, I couldn't resist...

From your description, I am assuming that this is an outdoor G-Scale track?

Try dragging a large magnet around the tracks. You may find an old nail or piece of rusty wire hidden somewhere. Or the ballast itself may contain some metal.

Maybe it's time to switch to battery power...
