      If your MTH Trains Switch isn't working but the light is on, try these steps: If using auxiliary power, make sure the jumper between the Track AC Out and Auxiliary AC Power In is removed. If using track power, check the connection. Also, ensure the operating voltage (track or auxiliary) is at least 10V. If your train is running at less than 10V, use auxiliary power for the switch.

    Why MTHTrains RealTrax O-3 Switch Points do not align completely into either the 'straight' or 'curved' position?

      Jason RuizAug 16, 2025
      If the switch points on your MTH Trains Switch aren't aligning correctly in either position, realign the Remote Switch spade connectors, ensuring they are perpendicular to the edge of the roadbed.

      If the Screw Terminal Cover on your MTH Trains Switch isn't fully attaching to the roadbed and there's a gap, and you have multiple wires under the screw terminals, use female spade type connectors like those found on the ends of the Remote Switch wires.
