Today, I removed the Tomix 1247 Double Crossover Turnout N-PX280 F at the west side of the elevated station and replaced it by two standard turnouts. I have had numerous problems with this double crossover over the past years. It is quite difficult to clean, and all my DCC locomotives using the Kato EM13 briefly stop when crossing it. The culprit is this section of the rail (indicated by the arrow on the left photo). It is an isolating plastic section. I do not know its purpose, but it is long enough to cause the EM13 DCC decoder to reset (the locomotive stops and starts accelerating again).
I tried to eliminate this gap by covering it with conductive adhesive aluminium tape (see the photo on the right). This helps. This sometimes worked, but this was not reliable.
