John has a wiring question for those in the know.

“1. I’m using fastrack- 8 switches on layout. Some of the switches do not operate very quickly. I’m powering my layout with A ZW Trans with two power boosters.

2. When I have two trains on track I cannot get them to go the same direction. Do I need a separate transformer for the track. It is all connected through with switches?

If you can help, Thanks”
