I am a newbie so be gentle.
I have a layout, attached to plywood, that has not been used in years. I am trying to get it set up and running for my nephews on Thanksgiving (nothing like waiting until the last minute). I am using a lockon for the contacts. When I apply power however the remote control switch closest to the lockon energizes it's solenoid. I don't even have the switch controller wired to the switch yet. No power is going to the locomotive. Any ideas?
