Paired 022 switches

Insulating pins are on the the same side the curve turns into.

Once you verify the insulating pins and still have the chattering issue, you may want to remove the backing plate and ensure the wires connecting the non-derailing contact rails have not come undone (very common)

thank you for replying. I`ll be troubleshooting again.

As BMORAN4 said, the insulating pins always go on the ‘control rails’ which are the short straight rail and the inner curve rail.

I added red dots to your picture to illustrate where the insulating pins should go. 

Once again thank you for the instructions and reply. 

Does the switch controller have to be connected to the switch or can the non derailment still activate with just the constant voltage plug connected? 

Thank You

The controllers are optional.

Thank you for reply.

I can easily understand the confusion about "dummy pins" (that's what my Dad called them , so I do too) in switches.  I have K-line O27 switches and the dummy pins go on the 2 INNER rails (the ones that form a 'V').  I always thought it would be very easy to know - just look at which 2 rails have a gap in the rails. On my O27 K-line ones, the 2 outer rails are on solid rail from end to end so it's an easy decision.

But looking at the nicely supplied image by JD I can see that my rule doesn't work on these O22 switches.  BOTH outer rails on the divergent track have a "break".

I used to own Lionel O27 switches and don't ever remember being confused by my rule NOT working on them.
