Title: Not running more than 2 trains

Description: Hi, I have a problem in that the main o/p(A) will only run 2 trains on my layout. Track Fault A show in console when I run 3 trains....no track power. Mega 2650 with EX 8877 motor shield, DCC-EX software loaded with the Installer. set Current to 5000mA, 15V supply. Prog track work ok with JMRI. Looks like its tripping on the inrush, I do have 2 CDC point controllers. I have 6 locos I can have on the track with 6 coaches with lighting. Hornby TTS sound and 1 loco with loksound 5. My old DCC++ system with a silicon chip mags motor board work just fine. Is there a fix for this.... nice system if we can get it to power up properly. Oh retired Electronics eng.....can handle small arduino jobs. Looks like nfault is not being gated out long enough? Help appreciated

Can you show us the fault console log? Does it trigger the fault spontainious or on something you do? What power supply do you use to feed the EX8874 shield? Can you measure how much continious amps on the incoming?
