Yes, except you want the sprung type not the rigid type. The sprung type will lock the points to the appropriate route, and you will be able to pu***he ground throw right over. With the rigid type, you can only throw the throw (if you follow me) as far as the points move. Anyway, they are installed much like switch stands on the real railroad. They sit next to the turnout (beside the track) and the little pin you see in the picture attaches to the throw bar (sometimes called switch rod) that moves the points. There are different kinds to match different turnouts, so if you get them, make sure you get the kind that is compatible with your turnouts. Andrew
