Points (switch) problem.

Yes well Curmudgeon i only tuned into this again to hear what pointless thing you had to say, but to my surprise it sounded quite reasonable. <br /> <br />Poor old Scotty died recently, sorry about that! <br /> <br />I am still mystified about this and will tell a bit more, when i use MTS the click is much louder going from divert to straight than it is from straight to divert. Which supports what i think about camber but it also gives support to what Mark said about it being an inherent thing within the switch; either in the design of the switch or for this particular switch, this is a very real possibility to me. <br /> <br />It is on a 4 % gradient trailing end down and this may be a contributing factor, what do you think? <br /> <br />I have been in hospital and don't want to put my head down for a while but as soon as i feel ok i will put a spirit level on it. I had a look at it from a short distance yetserday and I think it still has a lean favouring the straight side. <br /> <br />Another thing when i first got it going; I had no MTS drive on it and first pass for the day would not work on the divert side but after that 100 % correct. I fixed this by lubrication the switch and doing a bit on the camber situation. <br /> <br />I am interested in what you had to say HJ and I will investigate; thanks. <br /> <br />Rgds Ian <br /> <br />
