Headlamps blinking on whole layout

How are you connecting the base to the wall outlet?  Are you using a surge suppression power strip?  If so, there may be a problem with internal wiring of that strip.

Check your ground.

A quick wipe with a dry cloth will tell you if the top of the rail is dirty.

Check, tighten all of the connections of the control and power. The gremlins may have loosened them.

Let us know the result.

I agree with a good cleaning of the track and the wheels of the locos if not done recently.  Check wire connections and retest.  G

Good morning & thank you for the help.  I cleaned the track last night.  It's Atlas track and showed very little dirt.  The one loco is almost new and I cleaned the other well.

I'll check all the connections and I do use a power strip, two actually that I'll bypass.  I'll run a grounded extension cord to a different outlet.

I've had a similar issue in the past but not as noticeable as it is now.  How do I check the ground at the power strip?

Hello all, hope Thanksgiving went well for you….  I just wanted to share what appears to be the resolve of the blinking lights.

I found the connection of the Legacy base wire to be the culprit.  I had it split between the two loops and the connection (small wire nut) looked good but apparently wasn't.  I reassembled it and it worked fine except one spot which the track needed an extra cleaning.  

All went well running for the kids last night.

Thank you all again, John
