Kelly, I'm guessing that you must be using the AC with American Flyer equipment, with the reversing relay in the tender....
Your wiring still remains the same as I described last time, with "North" and "South" feeders, even though they are not "Plus" and "Minus" in the case of AC. In the case of AC, think of your feeders as "Hot" and "Ground". You need to maintain the "Ground" feeder as consistently the same feeder, typically the "South" feeder, while the "North" feeder is "Hot". It is simple to maintain isolation of "North" and "South" feeders except in the case of a return loop of track, or a return crossover. These two situations severely complicate what needs to be done with track wiring, but they are not within the scope of your initial question, so I won't go into them here. It would be helpful to know just what kind of power supply you are using. Are you using commercial American Flyer transformers? Electronics Supply Store transformers? This would be helpful before I go into further diagnostic tests....
