<p>I would agree whole heartedly with replacing the wire. Go with piano wire for sure. Second if you are using PECO turnouts we (club) always take out the retaining clip that is in the crossbar. It is not needed the tortise will hold the turnout in place and it does not have to work so hard to throw the trunout. The only place where we have multiple tortises on one swith is on our crossovers, you can get the kit that will let you run two turnouts on one machine. Personal preference comes into play here. Hope this helps.</p><p> </p><p>Dan</p>
