Hello,
Just started back into railroading in N scale. I had a simple oval layout that worked fine. I just installed one EZ track turnout. Now the train will not run correctly or stop before the turnout or halfway around the oval. The turnout has a metal frog. My transformer's overload light comes on also. When I change the direction of the turnout the train trys to run again but fails and the and the transformers overload light comes on again - Please help - What am I missing here?
Early EZ track turnouts used to be power routing, I don't know if they still are.
Think in terms that your turnout is a "y".
Your power supply input must be at the bottom of the "y".
Good luck
Thanks for your response. Late last night I finally figured it out. I removed the plate on the bottom of the switch to discover that they are power routing. The power wiring was reversed for the position of the turnout. I just reversed the contacts by moving the little gear about 180 degrees that moves the track and there you go - works like a charm now. Someone in China needs to pay a little more attention!
I found that in the main, the non # turnouts need to have the bottom plate removed and the mechanism adjusted.
