Morning all,
One of my crossovers is no longer switching in parallel. Both point motors work fine but always end up with one point in the 'straight" position while the other in the "turn" position.They are controlled from a 51750 box. Just a bit further down the line is a similar crossover which works fine, as do all the other single points wired to that box. All the track was installed by some local guys way back when I got statrted in 2007/8 and has been very robust up to now. I've cleaned the point motors, and checked that the wire connection at the 51750 is tight and clean. So far its a mystery to me (like most electrical aspects of my railway) as to why this has happened and what to test next to fix it, so rather than grope around in ignorance I seek advice here, and thank you in advance!
