Many thanks! Am in the process of completely rewiring the layout.

Thanks. Am rewiring the layout maintaining continuity.

Many thanks!!!

Will research continuity since I have no idea what that is. Have tried to add power lines at other points but all I get is a short.
Not much fun if you have no idea what you are doing. My expertise is fpv rc flight; just starting in model railroading.

Thanks everyone. Am in the process of correctly re-wiring the layout.


My layout is 14' X 10' and has 400 feet of track on three interconnected levels. It is powered by the Bachmann EZ Command with the Bachmann 5 amp booster. Eight locomotives are Bachmann DCC units with an additional Bachmann DC unit. I find that I experience very slow speeds even at max throttle. I typically run three to eight trains simultaneously but experience the slow speeds even if only running one locomotive. I assume the problem is related to the power level supplied to the track. What can I do to increase power to the track. All track is powered from one connection point. Also, a train can make ten circuits and stop running on the eleventh at random points. I have eliminated all dead sections of track so this problem is not related to dead track.
Thanks for any help.
