I have a curious problem.I have a 3-way (or "W" switch) installed at the head of a yard. When I run a path thru the yard lead, it won't allow me to change the direction I want my train to take. Is there any 'fix' for this??Stuart D. Guberman

Here is an illustration of the problem. As you see, the AE selects the straight section as the path -- I want it to go to the right hand portion of the switch. I'm tearin' my hair out 'coz of this.What to do????Thanks for any help anybody can offer.Stuart D. Guberman

You cant make this sort of thing work properly.
The AE only knows about and can only handle 2 position switches.
You can use the 3 way switch if you approach it from the trailing end.
Replace the 3 way switch with 2 normal switches.MD
