Good afternoon everyone. I can use some assistance.
My layout:
three loops using fastrack (approx 8X12)
using three Lionel power bricks (180), one for each loop
DCS. I updated all software, so it is current.
Being somewhat electrical challenged, I did connect the power bricks to the TIU IN (fixed and variable) and then to the terminal block, MTH 50-1024. Connected the tracks to the terminal block.
I did post on the wiring boards and since my layout is not that large it was suggested I do not need to "star wire" the layout. I have to say everything was going well, DCS, running three trains on each loop. Then this morning everything stopped.
I have the fixed IN #1 working but fixed #2 and var #1 is not. I followed the directions in Barry's book re testing various TIU connections. All failed, except for the one loop working fixed #1.
I feel the two other TIU ports are blown. I do heard a humming sound from the TIU and I am sure that should not be. I am not sure if I have REV L. The tab under the TIU indicates REV I3.
Based on the above, an suggestions ? It appears I need a new TIU.
Thank you all in advance
