Half of track lost power | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Losing power to half the track. Isolated power loss to a remote switch track. I'm fearful it has gone bad as I have permanently anchored track down and replacement is a horrible option. 18 volts before and in middle of switch, 0 volts after the frog on both forks. I find no loss in continuity, though.

I posted in "electronics" area that I thought it was a O-36 curve section and resistance, but I did more investigating and found this. Could not figure out how to delete that post, though.

I moved this to the correct forum since this is not a 3-rail scale topic per the definition within its topic description.
