    Maybe my dumb mistake will help others or, I'm the only thick skull here.

    Well, most of Fri eve and much of this am (Sat) after I ran and soldering feeders. Decided to do a continuity test and all the black checked and all the red checked.
    For , not sure why, I did a continuity test between the red and black,,,,,, UT ooh...
    the beeper on my meter went off saying I had a joint somewhere. Well to make the story short, back and forth, back and forth, check switches and even started disconnecting track.

    My wife saw me pulling what hair I have left out and came to inquire. Explained the situation and I SAID I"M OK AND WILL FIGURE IT OUT.....

    As she was walking away she said to me, maybe its because you have a locomotive on the upper track.............................. AHHHHHHHHHHHH.
    Anywho, took the loco off and,,,, all is well..

    Taking the wife out to dinner tonight

    Your wife is a genius, but a nice dinner, some wine, who knows? ... same problem arises if you check A/B continuity while leaving the A/B tracks connected to the controller. Whoops, was I asleep or what?
