Hey Everybody,
I hope most of y’all are still awake, because I’m baffled here. My layout has been functional in its early stages now for two weeks. I’ve been pulling out trains collected back from 2 years to make sure all were in working order. I switched from my CW-80 to my brand new ZW-L that’s been waiting in the box for ever. I made some changes to the tracks moving some switches around and other modifications. I put on two locomotives with rolling stock and suddenly my inner loop (I have 2 - an outside loop with O-81 curves and an inside with O-72) stopped powering up. I checked the track, didn’t see any problem but the inner loop didn’t power up. The outside loop was on so I ran the consist around the table and noticed when it got onto one of the switches the inside loop powered up. After it left the power dropped. After investigating, it was a broken rail on the switch that killed the power to the inner loop. After I fixed it, I powered back up and there wasn’t any power coming from the ZW-L at all. I pulled out my voltmeter and none of the handles on the Zw-L are outputting any power. The transformer is on but none of the 4 handles are registering any voltage at all. I’m running Legacy and DCS, I switched back to the CW-80, everything works, I switched back to the ZW-L, same scenario- the power and lights are on but not voltage output. I NEED SOME HELP AND EXPERTISE. - MARSHELANGELO
