Perhaps
check the MRC units on some loose track. Just two sections
connected with insulated joints. Power straight to one section
and power through the MRC unit to the other. Then use your
alligator jumpers to "short" across the gap. Test lamps would
be nice here.
If
they work this way, then you face more checking on your
layout. I use a "beeper" with clips to check for any cross
connections between sections. With the wires loose on your
reversing section there should be NO beep at all.
Good
Hunting, Carl.

Hi, It's me again. After days of trying, no success yet. I've
added a more detailed photo (Loop wiring) to the gallery. I have
tried so many location for the MRC that i finally started using
alligator clips. i have managed to get all my "juiced" turnouts
to work and my locomotive will run everywhere either direction
except at point A. There it shorts out either direction. The
tracks inside the loop are not connected. It turned out that I
had some "dead" spots and I've corrected them. My NCE system does
not short out until crossing "A". I thought about moving "A"
just before turnout "4" but have hesitated because in order to
stop derailments I soldered flex tracks for a smooth curve and I
would hate to do it and it not work. I have 2 MRC units and so
far no luck. my next step would either use a frog juicer or an
AR1. I thought maybe the MRC is not sensitive enough to reverse
and a AR1 is supposed to be adjustable? Any suggestions?
