Switches On RR Layout

Roy is having switch problems and would like suggestions from readers:

“I have 2 o 72 switches that operate together but they have stopped working when I throw the switch. Both switches just chatter and do not switch. I have removed the part with the light or directional and I tried it on another switch. It works fine so I think it must be something under the track part of the switch. I hope someone can help?”

Roy then added a second blog posting:

“I have mth and I have been set up for the past year. When I operate my double switch (2 o72 switches) they stopped switching and just chatter. If I try to switch manual by turning the lt does the same thing. I pulled both lights from the switch and put them on another switch and they work fine so it must be under the switch I think?
