I was setting up our holiday layout with two ovals connected by a pair of R27 Right hand switches. I was doing this in command mode. At the point where the Y of the frog is they would not have any power no matter which direction I threw the switch. I took a caboose that had a light and moved it on the track and when the wheel touched the Y joint power was restored. When it moved off it was dead. I switched the order of the 2 R27 Right hand switches and had the same bad result. I decided to try connecting the two ovals with a pair of R27 Left Hand switches and everything worked just fine. Power was available to both ovals.
Question: Does anyone know if there was a reported wiring defect with the R27 Right hand switches from Lionel? Mine were from the first batch. If anyone knows a solution to this problem or can tell me what I could possibly be doing wrong I would appreciate it.
