I installed a Lionel Transfer Table on my layout. The table works moving from track to track. When I move a locomotive on the transfer table from a track the power dies once it’s on the transfer table. I wired it according to the instructions but when I het the button on the controller to Power the track on the transfer table I get nothing. I hooked up the Yellow, red, & black wires in the transfer table plate according to the instructions, & the orange wire hooked up to power on the transformer. Am I doing something wrong?

Here is a short youtube video showing the transfer table in operation.

Since you can move the table, you must have ground connected to the transfer table base via a track section. The ground had to get from the transfer table base to the movable transfer table via the wheels on each end of the movable table as the contact the base. Make sure these are clean as well as the surface the movable transfer table end wheels ride on.

Also, as @toddstrick suggested, make sure the three rails on the base are clean, and the wheels beneath the movable table are clean.
