I thought I was pretty well versed in the TMCC/Legacy system. My friend has a problem that I/we can't figure out. This is an American Flyer layout using the original Gilbert track and was a good running layout when using the old Gilbert transformers. As the layout was upgraded to use TMCC, the Base unit and two Powermasters were added, and all was well. The wiring was done by using the base post wired to one rail and the variable and the17v post connected to the other rail. As I mentioned that system all worked fine, a train could transfer from one loop to the other, through the crossover, with no problems.
Update further, Powerhouses were purchased to replace the transformers and immediately a problem arose, now trains can't go through the
crossovers and we cannot figure what the problem is. I am going to try to attach a picture to show what we found when we checked things with a meter. The two turnout shown are isolated from each other with insulated pins. The rails circled show a voltage of approximately 33v.
Can anyone on the forum tell us where to look for the problem?
Thank you for any help.
Ray
