Speed Controller Problems

[gminfla]

I just set up a new Bachmann N scale Explorer (BAC24008) train set and it was working fine until this evening.....less than 2 VDC at the track with the controller turned up to the max...I suspect it's the speed controller. Do you suggest I try to get another one from Bachmann or upgrade to another model/make? Thanks.

If you get a better power pack you can get one with two throttles for multiple train running, and gauges for volts and amps. How many amps is the Bachmann power pack rated at?

[gminfla]

Well, after further testing I have determined it's not the power pack but the turnouts. They are drawing most of the voltage from the track when switched straight. Thanks anyways.

Sounds like a short of some sort from your turnout, or what not.
