Will someone please tell me where the insulator pins need to go on this switch configuration. I am loosing power when once the engine clears the first switch. Do I need a section between the two switches? Just let me know by the letters. Thanks very much.

Sorry, these are Lionel 022 switches
I will try and help here. Would be helpful to know what three-rail switch you are using, so assuming it is the Lionel No.022 switch. Based on your diagram, the insulating pins would be on H & J, and on the other one it would be on C &F. I am using the picture below as a guide.
For O22 switches the pins go on C, F, J and H.

Got Guys. Thanks to all!
Here's an easy way to tell where they go on ANY switch.
One of the curved rails is unbroken, it's one continuous rail.
One of the straight thru rails is unbroken, it's one continuous rail.
Thos are NOT where the insulation pins go. Repeat NOT, NOT, NOT.
The curved and straight thru tracks that are 'broken', that is not continuous, are where they go.
At least on the 3 different kinds of switches that I have experience with.
