- Hi,
-
- I recently purchased some N scale #6 Peco (electrofrog) switches, and
- the switch machines. Eagerly I awaited there arrival in the mail, and
- today I received them.
-
- So I hooked up the switch machine to the turnout, and the switch
- machine doesn't have enough force to over come the spring to turn
- the points (?) (ie. to switch the direction of the turnover).
- The switch machine does work, but just not when the pin is in the
- throw bar since it doesn't exert enough force.
-
- Any Suggestions? Should I return the switch machines? Should
- I return the switches? Any help greatly appreciated!
-
- Thanks in advance
- Rory
