I am running lionel and MTH equipment on a 11X13 Fastrack layout near the ceiling of the porch. After replacing the remote control switch wiring with a longer span (approximately 12' +/- and checking all the wiring (as well as correcting any connections), I use a CW80 accessory power connection to only provide accessory power to each switch through a separate single line connected to the aux power under the switch to the CW80 aux power and no other use for this transformer. The exist 4 lines to each remote switch from each switch throw terminal remains connected as they were with the shorter switch cord. I use a MTH Z1,000 Transformer with Railking Z Controller to power the tracks. I run both Lionel and MTH O gauge products.
The problem is that only 4 of the switches will show aux. power, The other four do not show that they are receiving the aux power - the switch lights on the related controls or switches do not light up, and the controls do not operate. I have double checked wiring and all seems correct.
Any direction or recommendations would be greatly appreciated?
