Lionel Type Z 250 Watt Transformer Issue

O22 Switches connected to Type Z (C-U) at fixed 12-13 V. Switch remote ooerates switches 2-3 times then fail. Observed dimmed ligths and electric hum when switch lever activated. Voltage at switches remains constant at 12-13 V. Why do these switches fail after just a few cycles?

I suggest that you post on “Classic Toy Trains”.
