Title: Moving to DCC
Post by: bilschwartz on January 16, 2009, 07:34:05 AM
Good Morning,  Yesterday I purchased a Dynamis DCC.  My current layout has several blockers and insolators.  I have been getting short circuit warnings so I removed all the insolators put in metal connetors and removed the terminal track and wiring.  Basically I am only feed the layout with the power from the control unit.  Unfortunately I still have shorts.  Do I need to think about moving the EZ track or can I salvage my layout with the standard Atlas track.   New to DCC so I am sure I have a lot to learn just thought I would ask if I am on the right road......Thanks,,,

If you had no problems with running DC, did you ever have all the blocks turned on at one time?

Do you have any revering section?
