No response from dcs

I halved my layout,then halved each. One drop on each and 2 drops on each reverse loop.I cut the realtrax with a dremel. Powering it with a Z4000,Jumped the TIF from fixed 2 to 3 and split each to a side using 2 blocks. Remote says engine not on track. Conventional engine will not respond as to moving but has sound. Continunuity from each side of the center rail cuts. Switches powered from a Z100. I have the mth online book and read many sites. This is about to turn from having a blast from building this to frustration. Please help a TIU and 2 AIUs from a tragic execution.

I'm going to put this here(2 other posts involved). Thumbs up to Mr. McMuffin! Looked at my stuff and all was well. Took the shopper, Yes!. Hooked it up and PRR Atlantic was recognized and fired up. Also recognized the PRR Q.Both ran well,Q wrecked and quit. Atlantic was going too fast & I hit E stop. Reset both tiu and remote. Atlantic now surges, with a signal of 7-10 with 3 or so lower. Q is in remote but ignores everything. NYC 5452 no nothing either. Forget standard operation,I changed the wiring and none go. Williams in picture go everywhere fine. All three will turn wheels, make erratic whistles and smoke,and sounds. Dryfuss quit after a crash and hadn't responded. I had the power up and shorted it as I was putting it on the track,engine sounds started, and lit up. Track was at the time on dcs power, I hit the direction button on the transformer and it ran on command mode. I powered down and nothing since. This hobby used to be a lot more fun. I call these deadbeats meets another.
