Can I use Atlas 215 Connectors ?

Can Atlas 215 Connetors be used for O Guage block control or are they too light duty ?

I am working on a L shaped 4' x 8' x 4' Christmas layout powered by a ZW with 2 post war engines and a dozen or so accessories powered off a TW.

Can I use the Atlas stuff for block control switches and accessory switches ?

Thanks !

If these are the ones with the yellow switch buttons, I use them on a setup where I run old Marx trains with a ZW. I use them for blocks also. You can use the ones with the green switches for Cab A and Cab B. Atlas has an excellent book called "Track for the 21st Century" or something like that that lists all their equipment, trackage, switches and controls with some great ideas on usage.
