No Tom is right, you do not use standard switches to operate points motors. you use what they call momentary switches, MTS or supplementary switches, working off other switches; I also use track contacts, which along with the other methods pulses the points (switches) across with a half wave DC pulse from an AC power soiurce. This is important as you give a pulse of a limited length and the polarity of that pulse will determine the direction of stroke of the points.It is LGB policy, as i understand it anyway that you can certainly operate two points motors off the one switch, i think you can do more but LGB say 2.There is an LGB text book on all this called EPL techniques or similar.Rgds Ian
