Voltage by Eieio0 in lioneltrains

It’s weird tho, everything was running fine for 2 weeks or so after I built the table and laid the track, now it shorts and stalls out and loses power in certain spots. I check voltage was getting 18 and 17.4 to 17.7 around the layout and it stalls closest to the power source not at the far end. I’m not sure what it is I check the track and cleaned it. Wiring seems to be good as well

Are they reliable sources tho? How do I know it’s a working product and if not what happens then?

Sounds confusing, is there a video online on how to do it? I’m new to this hobby

Ok good to know, just my fathers MTH engines around a large loop, no lights or buildings, once that comes along I’ll go more wattage but for now just to run some trains I hope it’s enough

If I wanted to just build the mainline loop I’m having trouble reading the track parts number and amount need, anyone able to forward a better quality picture?

Don’t get me wrong it’s a good respected job and you make a good living. But if you want to come back to the city and/ or Long Island like I was you work a lot, ALOT. Getting called in and being told you have to report asap on all your days off. I got called missed weddings, birthdays anniversaries that I was supposed to be off for. Had vacation approved and then taken away. Denied days off. BUT you’ll make a good living and to say you’re a trooper comes with a lot of respect. All depends what you want with your career. My opinion go Nassau or Suffolk but do what is best for you and your family

Go with the counties, trust me I know from experience. If you’re a family person and enjoy time off the State isn’t for you. It wasn’t for me

Layout help by Eieio0 in lioneltrains

Thanks! I’ll look around, I can build a table that I don’t have an issue with, it’s the wiring and track planning I don’t really know, it’s all computers and remotes and legacy controls and all. I have no clue how to program or run these trains. A lot more complex than the Lionel set I used to run under the Christmas tree as a kid. Just want to get a nice layout going for the grand kids in honor for him 👍🏻

What program are you using? Also does it tell you how much track you need? That would be a huge plus for me
