I have not decided what brand of switch to get. Comparing Atlas switch machines vs. Tortoise. Again, ease of installation (under table) and cost are considerations. Thanks for any advice.

I am building a HO layout and have 14 turnout switches to install. I don't know what switch machine is best to use with consideration to ease of installation through 1/2" foam board and 1/4" birch playwood base and cost. Any advice on switches is appreciated.

Thanks

I completely took apart my set rail by rail. I then started with the turnout track and added rail pieces. After I added a piece, I tested the power and all worked fine. Until I added a final piece to complete the circuit. At that there was no longer any power to the train. I thought it might be a problem with the turnout track, so I tried another turnout track and have the same problem. I just don't understand why this is happening. Has anyone else experienced this or similar problem?
Thanks

No, there are no other switches. Any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks

I recently purchaed an ez-track turnoff track and connected it to my existing Bachmann set. I made all the connections as per instructions, however, when I connected the track, the train does not run. Interesting that if I connect any two of the three parts of the turnoff track to the others tracks, I still get power and the train works. When I do connect that third part, no power. Any idea why this may be happening?

Thanks
