HJ i have been a government trained Telecommunictions technician and my logic for finding the solution to problems is 1 st class. I have never suggested that it is an electrical problem I have always thought it was mechanical and i still do. I cannot get rid of the MTS drive, as if i wi***o go from the reversing loop to the circular tack in area 3 i must use this set of points. What I am going to do now is to get hold of my Hillman balldriver and undo 6 hillman clamps and remove the points (switch) assembly and take it into my workshop.I am then going to remove both drives and make sure they are working properly and in an unbiased manner. At the same time i will completely service the switch and make sure its moving parts are clean and properly lubricated. Then I am going to beg, borrow or even buy a tension gauge ( I have also been trained to use one of these as well) and i am going to check the actuating force needed to drive the points from one side to other without the switches, then add them one at a time and make sure the movement of the points remain unbiased. Then I am going to go to the site where the points should be, I will completely level the site and tamp it down and it will be level to within 1 %. I have down this previously but it does move from time to time due to monsoonal rains at this time off year. If this does't work i will disconnect the MTS drive on an easy to do basis and live with it. Rgds Ian
