thanks i will give this a try

JUST USING TRACK POWER

I would strongly recommend using a fixed voltage direct from the transformer to power the switches (and the uncoupling track). Some engines run at such a low voltage that the switch would not throw fully, and cause derailments. I suspect that you have the fiber pin on the wrong side.

For the curve side, It belongs on the rail that has a 1/8" gap in it. For the straight side it goes on the rail that is short. The wrong straight rail goes right through the switch with no break.

i have made a mistake in the question i have one right hand turn out and one left hand turn out. first turn out diverts the right. next turn out deverts to the left. fiber pins are in the left hand rail as uou look down the track

"WHAT i HAVE IS FOR ONE SIDING A RIGHT HAND SWITCH THEN AN UNCOUPLE/UNLOAD TRACK THEN THEN ANOTHER RIGHT HAND SWITCH THE FIRST SWITCH WILL WORK FINE BUT THE SECOND SWITCH GETS ON POWER UNLESS I JUMPER ACROSS THE FIBER PIN BUT THEN BOTH SWITCHES WILL CHATTER"

So you've got two right-hand turnouts with an uncoupling track in-between.  I can think of 9 different ways to connect two turnouts to each end of an uncoupling track:

Both turnouts' points facing the uncoupling track.

Both turnouts' non-diverging routes facing the uncoupling track.

Both turnouts' diverting routes facing the uncoupling track.

Turnout A's points and turnout B's non-diverging route facing the uncoupling track.

Turnout B's points and turnout A's non-diverging route facing the uncoupling track.

Turnout A's points and turnout B's diverging route facing the uncoupling track.

Turnout B's points and turnout A's diverging route facing the uncoupling track.

Turnout A's non-diverging route and turnout B's diverging route facing the uncoupling track.

Turnout B's non-diverging route and turnout A's diverging route facing the uncoupling track.

Which one is the one you have?  And which rails have insulating pins in them?

yES I ALREADY HAVE AN UNCOUPLE/UNLOAD TRACK INSTALLED BETWEEN THE SWITCHES

Are you using the fixed voltage plug ? - Or just using track power to power the switches ?

[lionelsoni]

I can't figure out from your description how your track is arranged.  Could you give it another try?

[srguy]

Do you have sufficient room to install a small piece of straight (1-1 1/2") so you can utlize the isolation pins.

I have been overhauling my layout and have run into a problem. I have made a siding with a right hand 022 switch from the sideing  installed a uncouple/ unload trach  then  installed another 022 switch. My problem is there is no power to the second switch and if  jumper across the fiber pin both switches chatter. Each switch will work aslong as long as I don't use them in this position
