I have a 4 way Ross switch with dz-1000 machines that I am running into an issue with. I am running a relatively short wheelbase engine over it, and it stalls (a lionel docksider from 2004 6-28650. I checked to make sure it was wired properly with the rails (I bought it used) as a first check, and it is. Do I need to use the dz-1008 relay there? I actually have them, I bought them for some switches that might need it used on a crossover, so I have them available, or could something else be wrong? Once I have one of my bigger engines out of where it is packed away, I'll try it over the switch and see if it has the same problem, it could be the frog is bad or something too I guess. FYI this is the first time I am testing it, it isn't like the switch worked and now doesn't with this engine, this came out of initial testing of my wiring.
