I'm a brand new member so take it easy on me. I just dug out my 40-50 year old Lionel trains. I like the new fast track and bought a bunch at the Lionel Warehouse Sale in Charlotte, NC. I put up a simple layout on 2 4x8 tables. I was happy to see that my ZW 250 watt transformer still puts out 21 volts to the track. (Checked with multimeter) I took my Silver Streak engine apart and cleaned the contacts. Now to my problem; Half way around the circuit, the engine just stopped. I found that one of my fast tracks wasn't carrying the current to the next track. I see that you can run a wire from track to track using Lionel's wire with terminals. That can get expensive. Where can you buy these small terminals so I can run "jumpers" from track to track as needed? Thanks; this looks like a great forum.
