Hello all I have posted this before and because I am electrically challenged I still have the problem. I need to auto mate my turnouts to switch the points to the proper direction when a train arrives from the frog side of the turnout, thus making the points point in the right direction. <br />Well I bought some reed switches which are rate far higher than the votlage that comes from the transformer and the reed swiches fuse and then burn up my atlas snap motors, <br />Since I am so ellectrically challenged I am hoping that there is someone out there that could tell exactly what I should buy and explain it in such a nuntechnical manner that my brain could absorb and use the info. I am hoping that someone out ther has done this and can really baby sit me through it by telling what to buy and how to install. As usual your help is greatly appreciated, <br />Thanks <br />JOn <br />P.S. runing Dc
