During the last OPS session a short caused by the Swift Run turnout being thrown against a train coming from Stanley resulted in a short (naturally) that was bridged to the Swift Run to Stanley power district. This short shut down the command station. It just so happens the Swift Run to Stanley power district is controlled by a PSX-1 unit that replaced a defective PSOne unit. After talking with Tony's Train Exchange (I have yet to get a response from DCCSpecialities the makers of the PSX unit) I swapped the Rail 1 & Rail 2 side of the inputs and outputs on the PSX unit and the problem went away. Seems Rail 1 connection on the PS units is not the Rail 1 connection on the PSX units even though the documentation indicates they are the same and the PSX unit is an "improvement" over the PS unit that DCCSpecialities purchased from Tony. I wish Tony had kept the PS line!
