    I have a Kato #4 turnout that doesn't get power thru the point and in the section before the frog - see image.
    The frog is powered and all works as it should on the other point and frog.
    Any ideas?

    I had the same problem! Is it a plastic frog?

    Williemoe,

    I have a picture of a very difficult problem I had with a turnout. I think it may be of good use to you. However, I cannot figure out how to post an image. PM me and I will send it to you.

    OK, I added you as a friend hoping that you would see my email address, but the board says my friend list is empty?
