[quote user="mls1621"]Hyun, Your starter set probably came with manual turnouts.  The one shown in the picture is a remotely switched, powered turnout.  The switch shown would mount to your table and through the wires move the switch points.It would require a feed from your power supply for the solenoid mounted along the side of the turnout.  The switch motor looks very much like that used on Atlas turnouts.[/quote]Mike,Thanks for the quick reply--appreciate it.So, just to clarify, the electrical feed for this turnout would only power the switch points, right?  In other words, it wouldn't be helpful for isolating the siding and creating a block and controlling it as a single on/off SPST switch, right?
