Trouble With Track Power

[NW Modeling List]

When you turn on track power, if the track power indicator is blinking, 
turn on track power again so it stops blinking.

There's a DIgitrax group.io 
(https://groups.io/g/Digitrax-Users/messages) that's a wealth of 
information. Also, Digitrax tech support can be very helpful.

Good luck!  bob cook, Chesapeake VA
