Greetings everyone!

I'm trying to do a double oval layout with EZ Track for just a temp layout until I get moved into a new house.  So I go out and buy all this fancy stuff.  DCC Crossover Switches!  It was a snap hooking them up and operating them by my remote DCC controller.  I thought everything was fine until I started running some of my locos slow, well actually one was at speed step 15 ( 2-8-0 ), and it stalled right dead on the stitch as it started to go into the crossover section.  

Personally this is now ticking me off.  Does anyone have any idea's or suggestions on how to get them to stop stalling on the crossovers.  Really gets me mad to spend this kind of money on something that is more toy like because you have to run them fast over the switches?

Only seem to stall when it's diverging. (crossing over)

Suggestions please..

Thanks,

Sparky

Turn them over and make sure the wire is plugged in that powers the frog.
