Hi,
Need a little bit of help trying to diagnose a problem with one of my turnouts. I'm running EZ track, dynamis controller and a Bachmann 2-8-0 that I installed a Tsunami sound card with capacitor. I added two turnouts to my track, a #6 right and #6 left turnout. The right hand turnout works fine.
I'm having problems with the Bachmann #6 left turnout (part#44859). When my loco crosses the turnout frog area, it resets my sound decoder. The strange thing is that if I run the 2-8-0 with speed 17/28 or higher it works fine. There is no interruption in the sound. However when it is 16/28 or slower the sound card resets. I don't have this problem with the right hand turnout, it works fine with the loco running over it at any speed. It's just the left hand turnout. Visually I don't see any differences.
Here's a pic I took of my track. The red arrow is the direction of the 2-8-0 and the red circle is the frog and once the wheels go over it the sound card resets.
Is there anything I need to adjust or tweak on the turnout? I don't have it connected to anything, I'm just using the manual slide switch for now. Thanks in advance for any tips.
