Did you ever have a locomotive stall while passing through a turnout,
double crossover or 15 degree crossover? If the answer is yes, there is
nothing wrong with the locomotive. Chances are, you haven't wired the
turnout, double crossover or 15 degree crossover properly.
If there is only one set of feeders wired to any of these four types of track, you must change the wiring. Even worse, if none of the above mentioned tracks have a set of feeders, it's time to re-evaluate your wiring technique.
To create trouble free operation, these tracks should enough feeders to prevent a locomotive from momentarily or even permanently stalling on any of these tracks.
Unitrack # 6 and # 4 Switches/Turnouts - Each arm of the switch/turnout should be wired with a set of feeders. That means the switch/turnout should have three sets of feeders to provide optimum conductivity.
Unitrack Double Crossover - The double crossover should have four sets of feeder. On set for each arm of the double crossover.
15 And 90 Degree Crossovers - The 15 degree and 90 degree crossovers like the double crossover needs four sets of feeders. One set of feeders should be wired to each arm of the crossover.
Note ** - The feeders have to be wired to common bus lines.
If you wire the above tracks with the correct number of feeders, you'll have no problems locomotive as it passes over these tracks.You'll never have any electrical issues with the proper wiring of Unitrack #6 and #4 switches/turnouts, double crossovers, and 15 degree or 90 degree crossovers.
