Can any one tell me where to place the insulating pin on the straight track leading out on the 022 switch I am trying to put two right had or two left hand switches together and I do not really have room to place a bit of track between them
do I just keep the insulating pin in it's proper position and snap the set together !!! would this not stop the current traveling from one switch to the other !!!!
Any help would be most appreciated

Leave the insulating pins where they are. You will have only the center rail pin joining the two switches together. You need to add a pair of lockons on either side of the switches, and connect the outer rail terminals together.
Hi Robert,
Yes, leave the outside rail pins as servoguy has stated. If you wish to isolate the two loops for different transformer channels, then place a fiber pin in the center. This creates a possible issue of bridging the transformer channels or transformers when crossing and the voltage should be closely matched when crossing.
The common(s) should tied together and the transformers phased.
It is simpler if both loops are on the same transformer or channel.
Alternate arrangement- control rail fiber pins and lockon locations indicated.
Thank you very much guys Moonman your diagram is as close as to what I am trying to do
all this will certainly help , as it is going to rain today , i will be working o set up in garage
thank you all so very much
