Thank you....it will probably be a couple of days before I can work on the switch.....

Make sure the insulating pins are in the proper rails. Disconnect the controller and see if both switches operate properly. If so, the wiring to the controller needs to be checked. If the switch still does not operate properly, there is a short in the switch itself.

Title: 1122 O-27 switch
Post by: Robscaboose on January 26, 2017, 09:00:34 am

a number of years ago I was given a pair of 1122 switches.......I am resurrecting my Lionel layout with a "dogbone" track using the non-derail feature of the switch....one switch works fine, the other always remains in the divergent position.....when a train approaches & the switch is against the train the switch will move part way & then close again causing a derailment...... thoughts
