I saw a thread about this somewhere, but after going through 450 threads, gave up. My layout is basically a loop within a loop. Each loop is connected by switches like in the attached diagram. When my trains go from one loop to another then there is a sudden surge forward before resuming the correct speed. Each loop is connected to a different power supply and the power is matched properly as it comes from one of those "2-in one" power packs. The red parts on the diagram are where I have my insulated joiners. I use a combination of Atlas Snap switches and identical switches by Bachmann. The normal ones which come with most starter train kits.
I read somewhere else in this post that this can be eliminated by insulating only one of the tracks instead of both? Any information on this, or if you could simply guide me to the appropriate thread then I would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance, Douglas
