Well bit the bullet...fitted a new point no live frog and the loco runs over it as sweet as a bird. I cannot believe the variations there seem to be on locos.
Had a good firework display today... worth noting.
I had been converting an A1 to sound and was "chuffed " as it was a good conversion and I was eager to test it. In the meantime I had ballasted part of the track and put the loco on the track to run it. Well the controller went mad with lights flashing everywhere.First I thought it was the A1 mis-wired but then the penny dropped. Water .. Wet UPVC glue buzz bar ...yes a good old short.
Left it overnight and all is well today as its partly dried out. DCC does certainly throw up some good tests>
