As I mentioned in my update last night I've been testing out the tracks on both boards.

I wanted to work out any kinks or potential problems before I fixed the track down in place.

I started off on one of the upper level scenic board tracks and soon came to a problem where the boards join there was a slight height difference on some of the tracks something I thought I had accounted for before I wired up tracks. Any how I put that to one side and tried running the test loco on what would be the fiddle yard board.

It seemed to run ok on the lines apart from some slight jittering probably because of dirt on the track which can be easily fixed.

I'll clean the track once it's been fixed in place to try and rule that out.

One of the things I found when I was moving the loco over the board join was that when the back bogie was on the scenic board and the front bogie was on the other board I found the loco stopped and the powercab controller flickered and the loco stopped. I've checked all the wiring and it is all wired up correctly + to + and - to - and I've made sure that the track from both boards are not touching each other and that it is aligned up correctly so I'm kind of stumped on what it could be and will make some other power checks in the next day before running anything else.

I've fixed the track down in place on the boards and the alignment checked again and the blu tac was also removed which seems to have cured the height issue between boards so that is one thing ruled out.

Well that's the update for today if anyone reading this has any suggestions as to the reasons I might have missed for the tripping of the loco then by all means gimme your thoughts.
