Fastrack remote switch acting up

Top suspect are the two limit switches at the ends of the pie-shaped gear travel.

Thank you for the information - and thank you for the picture. I'll have a look at these.

Is there a procedure for adjusting these?

No adjustment procedure is built into the switch. Some have put a small shim of plastic on the sides of the pivot so when it hits the switch it pushes it completely closed.  There's a post on this site  recently about the same issue.

Yep, that's my method of "adjusting" them.

This did the trick - I really appreciate the help. I did put a small amount of Bondic on it, and now it works like a champ.

Now it's time to think about aux power for the switches. I know Mike Reagan recommends it, but there are several threads here saying that some switches are wired wrong to add aux power, so I'm not in too big a hurry to add it.

Since your running command control there's really no reason to wire the switches to an auxiliary power source.

The switches use very little power and at the same time they are designed to handle command voltage.

I've had 7 remote switches on my layout at 18v for 13 years. No issues.

Imo. Wiring switches to an auxiliary power source is more for the conventional operator that doesn't want power interruptions to their switches.

Other fastrack items , like uncoupling tracks ,and operating tracks, require an auxiliary power source because they are designed for operation at 12-14v.

Thank you for that information. I'll hold off on aux power for switches for a while - one less thing to worry about.

I had one of my 072 command switches start jamming and not functioning. I took off the bottom cover and the small white plastic gear wheel was working it's way off the shaft. I popped it back on and it's been smooth ever since.
