I purchased alot of brand new fastrack sections.  After building a good sized layout with a 90 degree cross I tried to make it work with limited success.  I wired the terminal section correctly to a brand new Rail king z1000 transformer.  I have two engines and they both only work for small secitons of the track. So I assume its not the tain itself. I have tried to smaller layouts etc.  I could get somefunctionality with selct pieces. It seems like the current is not transferring completely across the whole layout?   I thought I had plenty of tranformer power?  Can someone please help me understand what the problem could be.  Its all brand new so I am confused as to why it woul be the track. I had an old 3 rail set I got out of storage thats 30+ years old.  I could get it to work but not consistently due to the corrosion and age of the track I determined the brand new fasttrack system would be as easy update.  I hope I posted thsi problem to the right forum.  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks for the help fellas.  I have a 3 1/2 year old son that is dying for me to get it working.  Ihave not resolved the isssue yet.  I had a good sized track originally but when it did not work I made a really small track and still no luck.  The negine will only travel about 6-8 sections of track before quitting.  I really like th fastrack because of the ease of installation.  I will try all the suggestions above when I return home next week.  I will post a response of my efforts.

 

Thanks again
