Thanks for the reply.
It is the manual switch, the main issue appears to possibly be the metal piece that the switch points slide on. When I can work on them again I plan on buffing/polishing them as much as possible and maybe adding a touch of graphite.

Have you opened the covers and removed any dirt/junk from around the motor? and tried any lub on the moving parts. I resently did a post on cleaning and lubing the 1201 switch motor that may help.

The head is gray, hands don't work , back is weak, legs give out, eyes are gone, money go's and my wife still love's Me.
After many months of non-use, result of bad tree trimming (me) causing a crushed trestle, I am in the process of repairing and relaying track. I have two LGB turnouts that the points don't want to move freely. I have cleaned them, still not great movement, and was wondering if there are any suggesstions as far as a dry lubricant to help them move freely and smoothly. Tried doing a GR forum search but didn't find anything.
Any help or guidance appreciated.
