Monorail Juction Problem

Hi.
I have TRS 2006.
I'm trying the monorail (really neat!) but I am having a problem with the switch animation.
I have the junction controller rule added.
I laid a junction kit right on the baseboard.
It seems to have invis track on it. So, I attached more invis track from those points and the far end and made a junction. I moved that almost to the far end like it said. I deleted the lever, and added the invis lever.
I renamed the obj and the switch. Then I attached the beam ends. The surveyor switch works, and the train drives over it all fine, but the animation does not occur. I also cannot delete the spline points midway down the invis that were there before. Could someone maybe see what I am doing wrong and help me out please? Thanks.

Here's a screenshot of what it looks like.

Somehow, having tried making them over a few times they started working. Must have been on a transit workers strike or something...

You might want to use the fixed track junctions, as they are much easier to use. You have to fiddle with the height a bit, and you can't preset their direction in Surveyor, but they are certainly easier to set up and use.

I finally went with that. I had read you couldn't set them, but I went nuts trying to put a junction lever on them - until I realized they don't use them at all. Just drop in, give them an 's' name, and connect. The whole system is quite a nice piece of engineering! Thanks.
 
You're welcome. I hear, of course, from the people who are having problems, and there have been a few. It's nice to hear from someone who's having fun!

JFE.
