I have a layout with two ~ 4 x 8 sections(mining & industrial) powered by an NCE power cab.? Some time ago I did some scenery modifications on the mining section (that did not involve track mods).? When I attempted to resume operations, nothing worked including the power cab.
Actions:
?o removed all locos and rolling stock from both sections
?o disconnected the one track link between the two sections
?o disconnected an auto reverser
?o checked spacing on plastic rail joiners around a peco double slip switch
?o then applied buzzer tester to each of test track and industrial section:? no buzzer sound on test track but a very faint buzzer sound on all track in industrial?section (except the section isolated from the double slip switch)
?o routed power cab to test track only and ran a loco with no issues
?o then reconnected power cab to only the industrial section main bus and also reconnected the auto reverser?and successfully ran a loco on all industrial track
Questions: why would I get a faint buzzer sound but still be able to run a loco?
Have yet to tackle the mining section.
Thx in advance for any and all input
Ted
