Thank you all for your input. Sounds like I have a couple options. The Bachmann 5amp booster is indeed around $200 so i wouldn't mind avoiding that option, if possible. I do only use one terminal track connection for both loops. I didn't know using more than one was an option. I thought that would cause a short. I'll get a hold of some alligator clips and give it a try.

I  have a couple older power packs so I will keep the option of converting the crossovers to non DCC in the back of my mind. It seems a little daunting for me but would probably be a good learning exercise and would give me some experience with wiring and switches and what not. And I'd have that website as a guide.

Thanks again.

Thanks Doneldon! It is indeed a power issue. I replaced one of the DCC trains with an older DC train and both sets of crossovers worked the whole time I was running the trains. I will look into a capacitive discharge system. Is that something that a newbie like myself would be able to install without too much difficulty? I like the idea of setting up toggle switches to operate the crossovers instead of the three step process of using the E-Z Command.

Also, would adding a power booster also fix the problem?

Thanks again for your help.

I have two #6 DCC crossovers (one left, one right) on my layout which is essentially an inner loop and an outer loop connected by the crossovers. I use an E-Z Command Controller to run two trains and control the crossovers. When I power up the E-Z Command and test the crossovers they both work fine and will toggle back and forth.  The problem arises when I exit the turnout control mode and start operating the trains.  When I go back into turnout mode, only one of the crossovers responds. The other one (the right one if it helps or matters) does not respond. The only fix I've figured out is to press the stop button to bring everything to a halt and then press it again to start everything back up. That seems to reset things because when I go back into the turnout control mode both crossovers will work again. However once I exit turnout mode and then reenter it the right crossover stops working again.  I'm at a loss. Could I be temporarily shorting out the crossover? It initially works so I don't think it's defective but then again I really don't know.
I'm a newbie so I apologize if this is very basic stuff but at the same time I kind of hope it is as hopefully that means it'll be a quick fix. I searched the forum to see if anyone has encountered this problem but didn't see a similar post.
Thanks in advance for your help.
