i have a double dog bone layout as a Christmas Tree layout, using Realtrax with two 031 Realtrax switches. I have a DCS Commander using an MTH 1000 Brick. The switches are powered with auxiliary power from the power brick. When I apply power to the track (using a PS3 engine in DCS mode) The engine immediately powers up in conventional mode. When I apply power from the Commander to the track, it immediately trips the breaker on the brick. After some work, I narrowed this down to the auxiliary power to the switches is bleeding on the track. (When I disconnected the power to the switches the problem goes away) I have removed the buss from both switches so the power from the track and auxiliary screw is isolated. I did purchase the switches used, but I inspected the switches and I don’t see any modifications.
any thoughts here?
Thanks
