Hi everyone & thank you for reading. I believe I need to add a ground plane to fix a signal issue with a new small Legacy steam loco. This location hasn't been a problem with other locos (it's on a PW trestle bridge). I've done this before on another layout where I knew I had a good ground (new rod and box near the layout).
I'm not sure about this room, old house and electric. I've been using power strips and I checked voltage between the hot slot and the round hole, got 120v. Does this mean it's okay?
The layout has been working well with larger locos. I did have another issue with another small steamer in a different section.
Also, where's the best spot to run the plane wire through the bridge? Along the edge of the ties okay?
Thank you for your help, John
