Two Planks Become One
I see now Kevin no point motors just purely switches for the frogs. I cant really recommend any hopefully someone will know of some that will suit your needs.Learning to use that nice multimeter you have may well assist you in finding if there is a fault with the switch you already own.

Expect to pay around £4-£6 each for decent heavy duty slider DPDT switches. At some point it looks like you will be moving the controls to the edge of your scenic boards anyway, so perhaps time to think about a dedicated WIT with the switches underneath and the knobs on top or the sides. On

Surely if I was to run a continuous bus, as far as necessary, it would work,. So why by connecting Red to Red, and
Black to Black with plugs and sockets , it is just the same as continuous??? Best wishes Kevin

Yes, lurking between the tracks. Not ideal once you start adding buildings, trees, sheds. Easier to access and troubleshoot at the edge.

I dont know if this is easy for you to do or not but would it be possible for you to take a photo of the baseboard connectors so we can perhaps see what wire is going to what

Are you sure both "planks" do work everywhere, over every bit of track when separated ? Presumably you are testing each of the separated planks the same way and not having one "reversed"…………………. ?
Check for a stray track pin or other "conductor" - easily missed. Somehow, you must have + connecting to - when you join the boards ……………………….as Brian said, a wayward wire could be enough or a blob of solder etc. etc.

Hi Nigel. Thank you for your reply. Absolutely, but, I don’t intend to go down that road, until that is, I have debugged it 100%. Best wishes KevinHi Kevib,

I'm confused Kevin - have you solved the short ?Hi Petermac Thank you for your reply. Yes, all tracks are alive and well connected, the trains run like clockwork.I don’t think that there can be any conductive elements, or no running. Best wishes Kevin
