Kato Double Crossover short circuit

[drobnak]

I am getting a short circuit when a train crosses from one track to the other. I am running DCC, does anybody have a possible root cause for that?

We had two in operation in a T-TRAK layout using DCC at a train show this weekend as we often do with no problems, there is nothing in the crossover itself that could cause a short. The only thing I can think of is that the two tracks are opposite polarities, does your track plan contain a reverse loop? These may not appear as an actual loop so not be very obvious. If you have a double track main line with feeders to each track are the same wires connected to the same rails of each track?
