    What I suggest you do now is to drop two sets of feeders:

    One set right after turnout #1 and right before Turnout # 3.

    Both sets of feeders are in that loop where the loco dies.

    Stay cool and run steam..... [​IMG] :cool: :cool:

    I got it to run. I took one set of feeders out and replaced them with regular uni joiners, also took out one insulated Joiner too make a bigger block. I then tried this new setup out and the engine went through turnouts 1 and 3 with no problem. It also went around the reverse loop fine . What i need to do now is give the track a good clean. Thanks for all your sugggestions and help. One thing I did notice was that I can only get up to speed level 28. How do i get the speed level higher.

    I'm glad you got it working. You must have wired one set of feeders backwards to the wrong bus line.

    In The Lenz 100 manual there is a chapter on how to change the speed steps for each loco from 28 steps to 128 steps. All you do is select which speed step you want.

    The most important thing is your troublesome section of track is now working.

    I run most of my loco's at 28 steps because I multiconsist loco's together and in the Lenz system multi-consisted loco's work best at the 28 speed step level.
