Lionel Remote Switch 1122 not working, please HELP

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a pair of remote switches from my modest layout. The insulating pins are in place on inner rails on the V portion of the switch. ("O" gauge,) The switch operates with power applied to track. The problem is that when a loco travels over the switch, it seems to short out, causing the switch to operate, thus derailing the train. Does anyone have any additional information on the topic, or online resource, or other advice on solving this problem?

Thanks,
Michael
