Does anyone have suggestions for a problem I am having with my small 027 layout? This is a door-sized layout with a figure 8 within an oval and one short spur to unload passengers at the station. I’m using 5 remote switches for this layout (65-122 & 65-121). The problem is (I think) with the non-derailing function of these remotes. I simply cannot run the new Lionel locomotives I just bought, and can only run my pre-war locomotives with the switch in the “only forward/only reverse” position. The engines short out with all the anti-derailing going on and stop dead in their tracks. It seems at least to me - a novice at model railroading. Can something be done in the wiring process to eliminate all this shorting going on? Or do I re-sell all my 027 stuff and go to FasTrack only? Thanks. -Mark
Suggeest you take the question to the Model Railroad forums. This is a forum for 1:1 scale memories.
Better yet all questions Lionel related should go to the Classic Toy Trains forum, thats where the Lionel buffs are mostly.
I’ll move this thread for you.
