[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by pavariangoo</i> <br /><br />Hi. If I use atlas switches to make a siding, will power go to the mainline and the siding or just one of them. [/quote] <br /> What is it that you want to do? Power just the siding? If you are using one rail for a common (one rail carries half of the circuit to all blocks) you will need to insulate the opposite rail just past the turnout on the siding. You will only need one wire to the insulated rail from electrical switch. <br /> <br /> Which Atlas switch are you refering to? All will work. The only difference is the off position. <br /> <br /> <br />
