Try removing "CLASSITEM" from the layer with the label. As you have no expression, I think the class does not match. I also expect a warning for this in the log file.

Regarding the railway points I was able to see the points before doing all this. I did all this just to see the Labels i.e names of the railway stations beside the points But I am not able to see this. Can u tell me where the problem is? What am I doing wrong? Thanks again.
