Hi guydsHaving lurked for a while since recommencing the hobbyI now need some helpIn the eighties i modelled n gauge and fitted peco motors fromunderneath by making a jig and screwing them on via a plate.I thought this time it must be easier to fit direct under the pecopoint and make the large hole to fit them.Boy how wrong was !I am using the double microswitch to switch polarity and light leds ona panelI clip the motor and switch mechanism together and than clip the motorto the point and am having enormous problems with the motors eitherrefusing to budge the point arm - whilst I can hear it firing - oronly switching in one direction and refusing to switch back.I fiddled around with on for hours until i got it.But i don't know what i did to make it work .Any suggestions - thanks from a very frustrated newbiezep75
