Ian is asking for advice from readers:

“I have a 00 digital layout and have the digital clips on all points, but still have some problems getting locos to run over them. Any tips to improve the running would be helpful please.”

    Are you using plastic ‘insulated’ frog points, and are you using a BUS feeder, or just one pair of wires from the controller to the track?
    You need to check that you aren’t getting momentary short-circuits as the wheels cross the ‘arrowhead’, and that all wheels, pickups, and the track are clean.
