switches

[Scuba]

This was a gift from me for my kids (and me) to get us started in modal trains so I recently got into modal trains, I purchased a Model Power Army train set and the Bachmann's my first train track. I assembled it and the train goes around it fine, but it did not come with the wire or any connectors to put power to all 4 switches. When I hooked up any of the switches they will work one way but not the other, I have to manually switch it back to run the train on the other track.

Check your wiring.  You likely don't have the centre wire connected to the right place.

Hi Scuba
Your switch  (points) will have three wires one is a common return the other two are your switching wires.
two wires come from your transformer one goes straight to the switch (point) motor common return.
The second wire goes to a momentary contact operating switch common feed.
From the operating switch you have two switching wires that go one to each side of the switch (point) motor.
Unfortunately I don't know what color code the manufacturer is using
so cannot be more specific.
make sure the operating switch you are using is designed for changing switches (Points).
I hope you can make sense out of this.
