Hi all.
I've been experiencing a drop it power the further trains get away from the controller, when they meet the isolating section which completes the loop they jump back up to speed.
(as seen in the update video below)
I have ran the line with the drop recently with my Analog Sound Fitted Piko 37121 DR V20 Diesel from the Freight Starter Set. I'm not quite sure, but think the drop my have broke the sound on it, as after the Horn or Bell goes, Triggered by track magnets, the sound shuts off, only to come back on a few minutes later, which is a pain.
The fix certainly is a bus wire of some sort, which will aid the power getting to the end of the track were it meets the isolating section.
My question is, what is the best wire for me to use for this connection. I've been looking at the Piko Wiring, similar to the stuff used for the track connectors, but a roll is in the £40 mark and seems to be out of stock everywhere. Is there a cheaper, more easy to obtain roll of wire (i.e from B&Q)?
So the sooner I get the drop sorted the quicker I can get back to running trains
