Hi,
I'm looking for info on how to wire a code 55 turnout to a tortosie
Is there any info here? and if so can someone please direct me to it.
Thanks,
Andy
This would be useful information as I plan on doing this as well.
I see the little ring contact to juice the Frog. Would be some valuable information.
Thanks for posting Andy, and thanks for information in advance.

No special wiring needed for an Atlas insulated frog turnout. There are built in jumpers under the insulated frog for continuous power to rails after the frog.
Take Care!

Thanks Frank,
I'm still unsure about how you would wire LEDS to a control panel and signals too.
Are there any diagrams for this?
aetI'm still unsure about how you would wire LEDS to a control panel and signals too.
Look at the first link. It says signals, but is the same for control panel LED's or facia mounted. For turnout position.
Also look through the second link on the side of the diagram at the little squares of diagrams.....you should find what You need there. Do a little navigating on that whole link.....there is literally tons of info on wiring, turnouts, LED's, switches, etc. If You find something that you want to know more about, just click on it and it will take You to the site for even more info.....diagrams of all.
I really Do Not have much experience with a Tortoise, when I built My layout, Tortoise's weren't even made yet. I use all under table Atlas machines and relays for all My control panel, signal lights since 1980, without a hiccup.
Also take a look at the ''How to wire a DPDT toggle switch for Atlas turnouts'' further down on this page.......
