General Lionel Model Train Discussion / Re: Losing track power
« on: January 03, 2015, 06:36:04 am »
Thank you Larry. I was thinking of adding a power connection to the other side of the track and connecting it to the main transformer considering there also might be a voltage drop since the track is long. Is this advisable?

General Lionel Model Train Discussion / Losing track power
« on: January 02, 2015, 06:23:43 am »
Hello. I have a 0/27 train setup that I'm installing in a room which I plan on converting to a home bar area.
I purchased all new quick connect tracks for the entire length of the rail track. However the train loses power at most of the track sections. (I confirmed this is with a volt meter). I used lionel track cleaning fluid to clean all track pieces which helped some but still sections of the track does not work. I'm assuming the individual tracks are losing power at the connections to each other. Is there any way of cleaning these better to get track power? or is there any inserts that I could use at the power connectors to make it connect better?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you and have a great day.
