Back to basics and I found the reel of solder wire was lying across the tracks. Problem solved. great little Aussie bits of digital wizardry. They take care of polarity on live frogs ..

Reasoning that human error is the usual source of the problem, I found that I had used a non insulating rail joiner on the live frog. Basic error. Even worse, I had used my last irj. Oh well, off to the model shop in the am and continue to be thankful for a local model railway shop; not all people are so blessed. <\/p>\n
