Hello all
I am the person who has 2 loops indepently of each other that was trying to connect both Tpc 400's together through one 180 watt brick. (1) Tpc called track 1 the other track 2. Anyway I could not get that to work maybe not enough power...I do not know...so I connected the power to the one Tpc of Track1. Everything seems to work ok although at the far end of the track the signal seems to lose connection with the engine. This track I installed is a ceiling layout that runs in a loop of 40-50 foot down one way into an oval back 40-50 to another oval completing the circle. At one end and only one end at the oval some of my engines lose connection with cab1. Is there a distance restiction or do I need more power, another 180 watt brick, cab 2 Legacey remote, or what can I do to ensure that 6-8 foot around the far oval will keep the signal. Interesting my cheap engines of Tmcc, single motor no smoke etc run OK but the ones that have two motors smoke forget it they die out going into the curve. The large oval track has 2 power connectors at both ends within 15 foot of the oval so I do not think power displacment is the issue. I need the best brains to help me resolve this issue. Thanks for anybody can provide help or assistance with this problem. Diagrams or pics can assist me greatly.
Thanks
