I've noticed that 'bugs' happen more often with the Lionel electronics when the track and wheels are dirty.
The bugs I see are occasional whistles, bells, and announcements that sound without being triggered. I don't know if this could affect the switches or not.
By the way, welcome to the froum. A lot of good, knowledgeable folks here. Somebody else out there has probably seen this issue as well.
Good luck.
I have a 30' by 24' fastrack oval with numerous 0-72 command control fastrack switches. A couple of the switches throw themselves occasionally when the train is running which sends the train into a siding or derails it. I don't know what causes this. It is sporadic.I use lionel legacy and Lion Chief throttles. Any insight in to what is going on would be appreciated. Shylo
