Have not seen this discused in this forum. I want to use FIXED 1 to power double main line and FIXED 2 to power a yard and turntable storage tracks. I am using a MTH Z1000 to power the double main and a MTH Z500 to power the yard and turntable storage tracks. I am using ATLAS O 3-rail track. I have FIXED OUTPUT 1 going to a MTH 12 terminal block and then to the double main tracks. FIXED OUTPUT 2 going to a MTH 12 terminal block and then to an ATLAS connector so that I can power off the turntable tracks and the yard tracks when not in use. I am using a an insulator track connecter on the center rail to seperate the yard tracks from the double main but for some reason I am not getting a DCS signal to the yard tracks form FIXED OUTPUT 2. I know that FIXED OUTPUT 2 works as I tested it by hooking it up to the terminal block that goes out to the double main tracks. Am I getting DCS signal interference somehow? This has been very frustrating tring to get this to work. I purchased the O Gauge Railroading DCS DVD and it really does not talk about how to set up power districts. Thanks for any help you can give me. Rio Grande Forever.
