Another post war tubular track switch issue

In your first picture, it seems like you have a crossover set up.  You also need a insulating pin in the short rail opposite the pin you already have installed, that is causing your problem.  The control rails must have their pins in or the switches will chatter and not work.  If you need to get power to your inside loop, connect another lock on...

The O22 switches use insulating pins in a different location from the O72 switches you recently posted about. Note the gap in the longest curved rail.

I found this Lionel service manual image in another post by ACDX Rob.

Thanks Rob, this is about the best way to explain it. 

I am curious if this solved your problem???

Marty,

Everything works great now. Funny, but I think I did what you suggested on the 02 2 switches and it didn't work now it works fine?? Anyhow much thanks for your help and please don't go to sleep because I will have other questions in the near future I'm sure.

Again thanks, and have a great Thanksgiving ,jerry

Well I am glad we got the switches working for you.  Sometimes it is just the little things that are the most perplexing!!!

Hi Marty,

Yes it can be aggravating but the help I get from you guys is incredible!!!! One thing I didn't know or notice was that the different location of insulating pins between 022 and 072 switches.
