Hey all,
I've got a simple reverse loop. I'm using a Digitrax system. I have installed a DCC Specialties Auto Reverse Module. Reverse loop is isolated on both ends. Two wires into the module from booster and two wires out to isolated section of reverse loop. All LED's appear to be functioning properly.
My locomotive enters the loop just fine but when it comes around and crosses the rail gaps coming out, it shorts out and stops. If I crank up the speed so that the momentum carries it across the gaps, it still stops but after a second or two, it resumes its merry little trip heading off in the proper direction. Woodone suggested I stagger the gaps by 1/8". This I did on one end to no avail. Same results. Any ideas?
