I haven't even attempted to run a train for about 3 years, but decided that it was time to get back into it. My layout is about 15x15 with a toggle between DCS and conventional. Fired her up, and unfortunately things are not working properly, I have 13 switches running off two black bricks. Group 1 lights up at the switches but the buttons at the control board do not light up. Group 2 is completely dead. I ran an engine around the track and when the engine ran over a certain switch in group 1, a spark appeared and the lights on the buttons flicker. Group 2 remained dead the entire time. Looks like I have a lot of work to do. The good news is that I put 3V BCR's (I think that's what they were) in my 4 DCS engines and they run great.
