Here’s a quick checklist that helped me track down and fix the issue:
Check rail joiners: One loose joiner was the silent culprit on my outer loop.
Multimeter magic: Using a voltmeter helped me find exactly where power stopped.
Feeder wires: I underestimated how many I’d need. Adding a few made a huge difference.
Turnouts: I had a dead zone right after a turnout. Turns out the frog wasn’t wired properly.
Ballast buildup: I accidentally insulated a rail with scenic glue lesson learned.
If anyone’s stuck right now, drop your symptoms, layout type, and maybe a photo. We’ll figure it out together.
