DCC system shorts out

[email protected] #14257 Good day everyone, I have a question. I have an N-scale layout. I am using Peco code 80 flex track with Peco Insu-frog switches. I started running feeder wires the other day and I found that is If install more than one feeder my MRC system shorts out. Sometimes it occurs when I through a switch and sometimes the system shorts out the system with more than one feeder. Any ideas out there? thank you, Mike Ballou mjbuffy@...

Make a test buzzer, ?how to on wiringfordcc.com. ?Use the buzzer when doing your wiring. ?It will buzz if you create a short while wiring…? , plz pardon the spelling!

Puckdropper All Messages By This Member #14259 Take a look at your switches. They direct power in different ways. You may need to add insulated joiners on the diverging end. When wiring, I often do one rail at a time. I'll drop all the back rail feeders to the bus then do all the front rail feeders. Puckdropper
