Appears to be dead
Hi Ron. Thank you again. I do like to watch a model Railway video, but, every time I clicked, the video wasn’t available. Now I know what you were referring to, I am certain that it would find a fault if I could figure out the wiring diagram . As far as power districts and multiple operators are concerned I am the only operator and four foot by fourteen inches, even doubling that with the fiddleyard I don’t know that power districts would work. Best wishes Kevin

And the “DPDT Slide switch to the bus and the frog “ . It may sound cumbersome but it usually works. Best wishes Kevin

As Petermac asked Kevin, "Coming which way does the "stop" occur ?"
If the toe of the point is connected to the adjacent piece of track with normal rail joiners, even relying on them for connectivity, I would expect a loco approaching the toe to continue onto the point, however you've wired the point.
Ed
But your not answering the question Kevin, where does the loco stop ???

I'm tempted to say you have a problem between the switch rails and the frog rails.
I can't see any way around this except by lifting the point and maybe replacing it.

Your words
"when the Loco approaches the point at the frog end , it stops"
do you mean from the direction from the toe/tiebar or from one of the diverging tracks ( frog end)?

Well he would say thatno “ said he “ it is the switch “ and that is where he left it.
Try tomorrow running a loco, holding at 45% or so at the track so that just the front two wheels are touching the track and see where it cuts out.
I think you've got a duff point, but now you've 'adapted' it you've got no real way of claiming it was defective in the first place.
I'm off to bed now as I have a Hospital appointment in the morning, but some of our Aussie mates might have more ideas,
Keep us all informed.
