Thanks, Randy. Yes there is power fed from both ends of the turnouts. I think you're onto some about the rivets. In my earlier post about tapping the truck that is not sitting on the frog I realized that the other truck (on a GP-9, for example) is sitting on the points. A little tap there and, more often than not, the loco springs back to life. A less than snug rivet could be affected by expansion and contraction due to temperature changes as well. I have a new avenue of investigation to explore tonight.
