Thank you for your response.

I have this guy supplying the power

That is likely my issue then right?

I did have a question, and forgive my ignorance. When it diagrams how to directly rig the switch to the transformer, instead of track powering it, what the heck wiring do you put in the fixed voltage plug?

"To make fixed voltage connec- tions, the O22 switch is provided with a fixed voltage plug which fits into a socket located on the side of the switch box. Connect a wire from the fixed voltage plug to the prop- er transformer binding post."

I have the pieces, just have no idea what wired I should put in. Is it a power wire like the one I have soldered to the track?
