I tried connecting a pair of switches to my layout and initially they only vibrated. This forum helped, as insulating pins fixed the problem for one of the switches, but the other is frozen, even when trying to switch the track manually by turning the lantern. Appreciate any help on how to fix.

The mechanism may be jammed, the manual, I recall, says not to turn the lanterns under any circumstance or damage may occur.
Take the switch machine off the switch and then see if it will move for you...

I took the switch machine off the switch and the track moves easily, but the mechanism inside is jammed, can only get it to slide by force. Think I may have burned the motor when trying to operate without the insulating pins. Thanks for all your help.
