Hi all,
I just picked up one of the new DCC Santa Fe 2-10-4 steam locos at the WGH show here in Cleveland. Just set up a temp layout using 22" radius curves and some EZ track switches (turnouts, not #5 or #6) for a siding to store another train that can handle 18" curves. When the tender of the SF 2-10-4 rolls over the switches, it stops. Sometimes if the speed is just right it rolls right on over and doesn't miss a beat. I'm using EZ-Command as the DCC controller. I think that the tender is causing a quick short in the system and the controller resets. Anyone else have this problem or know of way to remedy it?
Thanks,
ShiveringTim
PS - I'm not trying to take the turnout of the switches, just taking it straight with the 2-10-4.
