Track - points

[geofff]

Hello

Probably due to my ignorance of polarity etc. I'm using Peco Settrack code 80. I have a left hand point (ST-6) connected to a right hand point (ST-5), which is a new configuration, but has worked occasionally. The locos move freely over the left hand point. Once on the right hand point the locos stop when directed on to the curved part of the point - the straight direction is OK.

Is this electrical, broken point or a poor connection.

Any help appreciated.


Regards

Almost certainly a poor connection between blade and stock rail.   Where exactly do the locos stop?  Is it just after the blade tip, after the blade pivot, or after a fishplate?

I use pliers to test continuity, that way if it's a fishplate problem I have the tool in hand to give it a squeeze



Clean down between blade and stock rail, and make sure the tiebar is moving fully from side to side (nothing blocking it), and make sure the over-centre spring is working effectively.
