fastrack problem

We need more information to have any idea of what is going on. I deduce this happens when the train is entering the track switch in the facing-point direction, correct? Is it always the locomotive going in one direction and the first and all following cars going in the other direction? Do the derailments happen only in one direction?

i have had the same issue with 072's. they will just switch when they want .  i took them apart and re soldered  all the ground points and they all work like a champ now

dear sirs thank you all for replies.to be more specific.testing engine and running counter clock wise after passing thru the switch throws.i have changed position of switch and direction of run still same problem with left 060

to dale senior,i dont have the knowledge to resolder them.if i take apart switch i'm lost.all my life i have wanted switches and now I cant get them to work properly.it is so much more interesting than a simple oval.the grandsons love being switch operators.i think its a shame you have problems with a product new out of the box.somehow I know it will be fixed with the kind help of all you more knowledgeable railroaders.I'm optimistic by nature.thank you for reply

Is the switch powered via the track or by auxillary power ?

Do you have a Legacy system hooked up to your track ?

no i do not.convententnal with a Z1000.left switch is the problem.right works fine

I assume you mean the Z1000 is powering the entire layout, not just the switch.

I assume you are controlling the switch via the black remote controller. Has that black cable from the switch to the remote controller ever been cut or disassembled at either end ? 

I would first try powering that switch with auxillary power and see if that helps.

I believe there have been known wiring issues with certain FT switches, but try the above first. 

thank you.if i power switch with an older transformer don't I run risk of blowing circuit boards on proto3 and legacy engines
