I have encountered a situation I have never seen before. While helping a friend isolate a track loop for installing a reversing module we discovered a short circuit. When performing a continuity test from A to B rail over all track sections on the layout, except the isolated reversing loop, the short was present. We disconnected all of the drops and started from scratch to try and determine where the short may be. We reconnected one track in a yard to the bus, placed a loco on the track and no short on that track. The loco operated as expected.

Lots of railroading around Baltimore, the birth place of American railroading. I happen to have chosen it as one of my major town destinations on my new layout. And I spend a lot of time passing thru this town when I was living in DC & Annapolis over the years. It was also a place where my father first took me to a great club layout located in the downtown area.

Today I started the beginning of installing the scenery for the major portion of the layout, it’s taken quite a awhile to get back into the zone,

Greetings! In light of a recent item about power districts and wiring, attached you'll see the power district "map" we did for our layout. This is something of a visiting operator guide as well as a reminder for us. Each color represents a different power district protected by a PSX Power Shield circuit breaker, and includes short circuit LED lamps in the layout fascia.

Given my aging memory, this kind of item is handy to have around.
