I just built 5 separate fastrack circle lines. I use dcs with z4000. One line works fine, but how do I wire up the other 4 lines. So far I have only completed the second line, I wired it up with buss. I have two boards, The main board runs too the z4000, from there to my tiu. The second board I ran to the first board. However this second line reads train ont on line. All engines are on my hand held. I hope I made my problem clear. need help Please for any reply.Thanks, Sonny

Sonny,
The second board I ran to the first board. However this second line reads train ont on line.
That's a big "no-no".
The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition has an entire section dedicated to the best ways to wire a new layout for DCS. What you've done is listed as something not to do.
f you don't already have a copy, purchasing this book will be the best, most cost-effective purchase you'll ever make for DCS, according to E-mail and posts by many of the 4,600+ DCS enthusiasts who've purchased it to-date.
This and a whole lot more is all in MTH’s “The DCS O Gauge Companion 2nd Edition", available for purchase as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!
