Check track message | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

I have two loops of independent track. Fixed 1 and 2. On fixed 2 I get a check track message every time I try to access DCS features. This loop has a number of track that are insulated. Is this causing the message? If so how do I correct this? Any ideas?

Hi Vinny... Good to hear from you....It does sound like you have a low track signal. However I can't remember how you have things set up....

Do you have any spare channels not in use that maybe you could take advantage of another dcs signal generator. (cut the block in half and use a channel for each half .( you could use the same power supply for both channels) something along those lines.

Need more info Vinny26

When you say tracks are insulated, I asume you mean that one outside rail is insulated from the other to use for signalling. Be sure you have enough ground drops from the tracks.
