Put the meter on 1 ohm scale. This has to be done on each rail. Check each turnout to insure that power is continuous through it. All this should be performed with power off and all equipment and power feeds disconnected. Then with power on, check across the rails for power at various points. You should see power at least where the buss feeds come up. Check the output from the supply. Do all this first without any equipment on he tracks as there could be a short with a piece of equipment which will effectively bring the power to 0 volts.

Hope this helps.
