Good Morning:I tried to make two small activities on N&JC; one of the activities takes a small cut of cars from the Brills Yard into the Harrison Reach Industry Park. The first screen shot shows where I put the reverse point, (this is where the elaborate number 1 is located). I continue past the reverse point to do some open switching because there is no signals inside Harrison Reach, but when I get to the double slip switch (where the equally elaborate number 2 is) I can pass through the switch once but after that one pass the switch will not operate. If I exit the activity and just use the explore mode all the switches will work fine.Newark and Jersey City switches not working – image 1Newark and Jersey City switches not working – image 2I have the same problem on another activity going form Oak Island Yard to the National Docks on the LV Line. When I get in the National Dock, all the switches will work except the 4 going to the piers. I set this up the same way, putting the reverse point at the start of the National Docks and being free to switch as I want.Newark and Jersey City switches not working – image 3So has anyone had a problem with anything like this, when I updated xtracks I did not use Horace because the install instructions said not to use Horace if I was not a route builder.Thanks for all you helpChandler

RE: Newark and Jersey City switches not working.

Yes, I was working on an activity in Harrison Reach and ran across a similar problem w/ the slip switch there. I does work, but only when approached from the side towards the main line (south?) From that direction you can switch to either siding 3 or 2. Coming back from siding 2 you always head back toward the main, you can't go into the lead to Atlas Refinery, etc. Puzzling!Okrasa, O king of XTracks, have you checked this out perchance?Thanks,Steve

I have changed the switches in Nat'l DOcks, but I can't do anything to the doubleslips. Changing them doesn't cure the problem.
