Patrick: I agree with Bill, you have a problem somewhere and I believe it is with the free movements in the switch as I have had problems there before. Ninty percent of my switches are peco. Go by process of illimination. I would unplug your switch machine power supply, then I would manually throw your switches. If you are having trouble doing this then I would say it is either with you switch machine or something is restricting the free movement of the throws. On one of your switches that you can easily work on I would then remove the switch machine and see if things move freely, if they do then I would try the switch machine by itself not attached to the switch. If your switch moves freely and there is no problem with the switch machine then there may be a problem with the way it was installed, check this carefully. If you have a spare switch that is not installed you may try make sure it moves freely, hook the switch machine that you took out up to it and try it separately. You can also try another type of power supply. Just work slowly and carefully and with the process of illimination you usually can isolate the problem. <br />Have had to do this a few time on different things, remember go slow and if your temper or flustration level gets too high, shut everything down and come back another day. Hope this helps. Ron.
