did the loco stop due to
1. no power on the frog
or did it stop because
2. it was shorting out?
1. require the use of a multimeter
2, if shorting, manually push loco thru turnout until it shorts & then fix the problem.

Trying to help remotely is very hard in some circumstances when words are not enough, for us to help, photos & drawings are almost a necessity .

Thank you again Ron, I do appreciate what you are saying, and I have followed all the advice and wiring as per.Considering I have wired both sets of points exactly the same way, and one works faultlessly, then why don’t they both work the same??? At the time of writing, the troublesome point has been lifted and the wiring disconnected, all over the place. Best wishes Kevin
Kevin, if as you say both are wired the same taking into account they maybe pointing in opposite directions, as you do not want to provide any photos & drawings of what you have done, I don't think we can help you so I think you may need Harry Potter to sort it out.

You could do a drawing in a spreadsheet using Excel or similar of your plan and wiring and attach it to your thread like I have done here. Of course if you have a multifunction printer, draw the plan, etc by hand and scan it as a DOC, PDF or JPG & then attach it the post.

and the Loco Passed along the siding and through the point without faltering , No stalling, and considering this Loco is a Bachmann 0-6-0 it is pretty good . Which reminds me of my phone
call to Peco and the opinion of their “ Expert “ , just to remind you “ no it cannot be the Peco Point “. Best wishes Kevin

As Sol says, without a photo, we're working in the dark !! Writing down where to solder wires is highly complicated - with a photo it's simple.
Additionally, if you have some photos in the gallery, it's an extremely simple matter to copy them to the relevant post so we don't have to search your gallery ………………………….. :thumbs
p.s. As Sol said, it appears most of your photos have been deleted - did you do that ?

It may benefit you greatly to see if there's a 'Silver Surfers' or similar computer assistance group locally who can help get your laptop up together again, as changing photo sizes to 800 wide pixels and posting them is just so easy on a laptop
The library, Age Concern, Citizen Advice or the local council office should be able to point you in the right direction.

At 6'4'', Bill is a tall chap, then again, when horizontal he is rather long and people often used to trip over him! . . . and so a nickname was born :)
