Larry,

Thank you for your response. That all makes sense.

Just allow me to display my ignorance further.

So, I have a transformer plugged into the wall. and on it our 4 towers that come off. 2 sets. One is adjustable voltage and the other is for the max. I connect my white and black feeder wires, that are soldered to the inside and middle track. Trains run just fine and the switcher lights up.

Where I got confused is the use of the term power terminal and common terminal. All I have is black and white feeder wires that connect the transformer to the track. I see a single wire in the diagram attaching to the fixed voltage plug on the switcher, what one wire is that?

Much appreciated and assume I know less than you expect.

Hello,

I recently purchased two great looking, used Lionel 022 switches.

Both have the same issue, when I hit the remote switch, they both activate well enough, but do not move the tracks far enough.

In other other words, the tracks switch, but I still need to move them the last quarter centimeter to get them moved all the way.

I can off course manually turn the lamp to get them to move as well.

I tested both in different parts of the track and they both suffer the same issue.

Any ideas?
