I had a very technical and complicated track repair over the weekend.
My Son and Brother-in-law had trouble running their engines through this switch. The meter said power was good on all three ends but the middle was dead.
I know from a previous project that MTH runs a wire molded in the plastic ties to connect power from the center rails on the ends to the middle. I added one of my reference pics from some time ago to show the wire.
My guess was the wire had come loose. my track is nailed down and all of the ballast is glued.
What to do? Solder in new leads? Nope, that takes time. I pressed down on the switch with the palm of my hand VERY hard, almost elevating myself. That did the trick and the wire came in contact with the center rail again.
Problem fixed. Good thread Arnold.
Have Fun!
