    Controller overload with crossover install

    I was testing a short. The problem was the reverse loop. A little reworking of track and it is working perfectly! Now, drilling and wiring all the switches, putting landscape and buildings back in, but my little man is super happy. THANKS!

    Controller overload with crossover install

    I installed a new 90* crossover in my sons track. It continues to grow and we add a new section, which needed to cross a main track. But now, the locomotives won't run and as you try to power up, at about 50% you get a controller overload? Any thoughts? Attached a couple photos, excuse the mess...
