Hi Folks
I was wondering if you'd be kind enough to give me your opinion on a problem I have?
I'm a DCC man myself, but my lad wanted to convert the layout to DC, so we ripped it all up and relayed it, now I have come across an issue with DC points that I never had with DCC. On the attached diagram, I can run a loco around the outer ring, and open and close whatever points I want and it makes no difference.
The points that connect the inner and outer rings have isolating fishplates as they have different controllers, if I run a loco on the inside ring and open either points at P1 or P2 on the attached diagram I cut off the power and the loco stops? I've tried link wires in front and behind the points but that just creates a short when I open the points?
What do I need to do to fix it? I'd appreciate your input
Many thanks and best regards
