I've been having a real hard time getting a Peco Turnout/Switch combination to work. I'm using an Atlas sliding switch (made for turnouts) with it. When I wire up the switch machine and test it, it seems to work beautifully. So, first I used the extension on the switch machine, put it through a hole in my 1/2" plywood and foam roadbed, into the track and mounted the switch machine under the plywood. After an hour of trying to adjust position, I can't get it to move the switch. SO, I pulled up the switch and attached the switch machine directly to the bottom of the switch without the extension, thinking this would work and I'd cut a larger hole in the plywood to keep the switch machine attached directly under the track. Still doesn't work. The switch seems to move well enough manually, and the switch machine seems to work when not attached to anything. I CAN"T FIGURE OUT WHAT I'M DOING WRONG and it's getting a bit frustrating. Anyone have a clue? Is it the power source or Atlas sliding switch button (even though it works when not attached to the track)? HELP! David
