Atlas twin coil switch machine wiring
Posted by chochowillie on Wednesday, February 20, 2013 3:56 PM

Ok I know that I'm on the ahem... mature side but I'll be darned if I can remember how to wire atlas twin coil switch machine. 

What I want to do is us momentary on push buttons on the facia (two buttons for each twin coil) close to the turnouts as I use wireless dcc control. I have a Snapper as well. Anyone have a diagram I could use to unstick my old brain?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

One output of the Snapper goes to the center terminal on the switch machine.

The other output of the Snapper goes to one side of each of the pushbuttons.

The other side of each of the pushbuttons goes to one of the outer terminals on the switch machine.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
