I tried to give you a longer explanation on another post:<br />http://www.quinntopia.com/2011/01/minitrix-turnouts-switch-points.html<br /><br />But another think you might to try is to remove the motor and just move the red lever back and forth several times to ensure that is moving easily and nothing is blocking its movement? While the motor might be the problem (bad motor, not enough electcrity, not attached all the way) maybe the switch itself is bent or blocked or something?Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-19872541388007332772014-08-04T02:00:29.642-07:002014-08-04T02:00:29.642-07:00Hello, I have a problem.

I hear the buzz of the motor working and I can see the motor moving. Yet, it cannot move the red lever all the way to the other side to allow the frogs of the turnout to change direction... do you know why is that and how can I solve this problem?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-47452729935496791192014-08-04T02:00:09.996-07:002014-08-04T02:00:09.996-07:00Hello, I have a problem.

Maybe I can buy some cheap Trix points and I'm interested in Your experience.Megarailshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751110507481943070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-50115166163158146012013-01-30T07:47:48.048-08:002013-01-30T07:47:48.048-08:00I have to say, I have had some mixed results.

The switches themselves are mostly pretty good, although I have had one or two where the 'polarized frog' function stopped working. In the future I would probably go with servos, they seem to be much more reliable. My Kato switches are still better performers.Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454470373325096585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2530989713679372474.post-80731031691033379912013-01-30T07:26:16.437-08:002013-01-30T07:26:16.437-08:00Hello Jerry.
