Replacement parts for a Fastrack Switch

Start here:

https://www.lionelsupport.com/

While I did not need the part you are looking for, about a year ago I was able to order all the switch parts needed to repair several water damaged Fastrack switches, including the small electric motors that engage the geared wheel you describe.  I would help to locate the parts diagram for your switch first for the part numbers.  The links have changed since I used the site so you'll have to search.

Doug,

@Kelunaboy is right on track here.  However, to use lionelsupport.com to look up the part you're going to need the Lionel Product No. for your switch.

Do you happen to have it handy so that the rest of us can look it up too?

If Doug types "fastrack switch" into the support search. He can scroll until he finds the switch he has.

Thus small armature switches tge track and holds it on place. I tried to insert a small stiff wire, glued it on place. Thought it would work. But when I had to insert it back under the slide, the wire had to bend and didn't stay in the plastic armature even though it was glued in place.  In order to replace the armature with a new one, it will have to be flexable enough to get it back in place.  This is a main line switch and I need to repair or replace asap.

What do u think. Thanks for all the support.

My suggestion isn't necessarily about Doug.  It's also about others who might have the same problem, now or in the future and not know whether this part is the identical on all fastrack switches, or just on some of them.

Ultimately having the product number helps all of us -- as this is almost always the case with anything we discuss.

Product number?..this is a right hand 0-60 fastrack switch.  I'm.not sure. But is that what you are asking?

Two of your photos arent showing. I believe the part in your hand is #40.

The square in the end is separate? #30

Here's the parts listing:

I think that part is $1.30 and I think they are all the same. Part # 610 2017 052

Thanks for all of your help.  I found it and I ordered it.
