Just bought a #5 LH Turnout for the railroad. Not an easy task putting the #5 in and getting everything to fit again; but I did it.
1. Bachmann On30 2-8-0 won't run thru it without tender derailing. Discovered that the fixed rail just past the pivoting rail was considerably higher than the pivoting rail. Took a bit of filing, but finally got things working fine.
2. Bachmann On30 Forney won't run thru turnout without stalling. (I have a number of other #5 turnouts that cause no problems -- stalling or derailing.)
Any ideas why the Forney stalls on this turnout and not the others?
I run regular DC with an MRC Control Master 20.
There is a wire underneath with a little railjoiner-like plug on it; but I don't see where it plugs in-- no info on the package. I assume this plug would power the frog? Would that solve my stalling problem?
I would appreciate some input before I take the track apart again.
Thanks.
Hi ! I saw your Question on HO . If you have a metal frog on your #5 LH turnout there is a Hole next to the Switch machine on the underside of the turnout that will accept your plug . The info is printed on the back of the card your turnout was purchased on. Good Luck.
