MTH RealTrax O-31 Right switch problem

[nardp96]

do u have it wired in right. and its got plety of power bilive me they dont use much. u may have the wiring flipped around

[HaloHedgehog22]

It wasn't wired right, I had one part of the track wired wrong, so it didn't work. Thanks anyways!

[nardp96]

no prob. i probably should have checked how long ago u made this.

[HaloHedgehog22]

Well, if you didn't comment and I still didn't know what to do, then I would still have this problem, so thanks for the help anyways, I appreciate it.

[nardp96]

@nardp96 im so confused on how to wire mine :(

[nardp96]

@deathlon1122 its pretty easy. it runs on track power so with the controller just make sure the middle wire in the middle terminal and flip around the outside wires until it works. if it still doesnt then u might not have enough track power to it or theres a short. what kind of switch is it?

[deathlon1122]

@nardp96 its the same as yours, i know i have enough power its a 150 transformer ill try what you said though

i will let u borrow my 100 watt transformer if u want that u could hook up that is more than yours

Hedgie I Had The Same Problem Just Give It Plenty of Power With The Train On It THats What Solved My Problem.

[HaloHedgehog22]

I need to buy a bigger transformer anyway for when I get DCS so I will buy 1 more switch...

Hedgie.....What power source are you using?

[HaloHedgehog22]

I was using a tiny accessory transformer. I believe it was 12 watts, not sure though...

[bravosixxx]

Well......that is what it is. Not enough power. Good thing is you know the switch is ok. Which is good! Do you have any other transfromer? What do you run the trains with when you run them?

[HaloHedgehog22]

I found out that when i re-wired it without the lockon or the bumper, it works 2/5 times automatically, other times i do it manually.
