Although I don't use Peco 'N' points as such, I had a similar problem with their HO/OO point springs. I got round the problem by using 'sprung' motors (ie. switch motors that have an integral spring to make sure the bar inside the solenoids moves the full distance and stays there. This is a favourite trick with modellers who build their own switches. Peco motors rely on the spring in the switch to keep the rail tie hard over and as such have a tendancy to bounce back a little if there is no spring, often enough to break the electrical contact or derail your stock. One motor I could recommend is the Seep Point Motor PM4 (point motor latching with switch) available from Gaugemaster in the UK. sorry I don't have their website address to hand, but you should find it on your search engine. good luck Jon Grant
