My problem is that my #4 shinohara turnouts will not conduct power <br />unless I get the points very tight against the rail. <br />When I do this then trains will run until a freight car ever so slighty <br />jiggles the points at which point the the power to the rail cuts out <br />otherwise the layout runs good. <br /> <br />I have ordered ground throws from caboose Industries in the hopes <br />that these will be able to lock the points tightly up against the rail <br />but I don't know. <br /> <br />Any suggestions? <br /> <br />Am I going to have to put jumpers to get power thru? <br /> <br />Thanks for any response.
