fastrack uncoupler shorting | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

ricklabOGR Forum Member

The uncoulpling track seems to work fine on the workbench. It stopped working on the layout, one of two on the layout. I removed it, and it tested ok on the workbench. Put it back on the layout using a pushbutton switch and as soon as I push the button it shorts out the power brick.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Rick

Are you using track power or Aux power?

I am using track power. How would you set up aux. power on this track?

Thanks

Track power does the same thing for me, you have to use aux power for those if you have a fast acting circuit breaker or electronic power monitor.

Here's the user's manual, they describe aux power connections.
