Jim- I am using a Bachmann switch that is DCC. The trouble is that a engine does not pass through the switch it stalls. The second switch is fine now.


Sorry, but so far I can't figure out how to draw!  My layout is simple,  it is a circle with a crossing across it at the half way point. I think that a have isolated down to a switch. After removing the switch and power-up the switch the problem is still their. I have run the switch with the frog powered and without.

I have a simple set-up where I have two switches.  The problem I have is
a simple short circuit accross the power lines. I have placed plastic spacers on the ends of the swiches but no avail. The switches are placed where activition of one causes a short in the other. Thank you for your help.
