Welcome to the forum and Merry Christmas.  Your posts will be delayed in moderation and we may not see you reply until next week.

I found these wiring directions on HO Seeker.

Hopefully someone will have a wiring explanation of why you only have one way operation.  I have never used Model Power turnouts, but they look like atlas clones.

You can't put the ampersand or quote or inch marks in the title of a thread without it looking weird.

found the wiring for model power turnouts and now they work. Black wire is the common wire, green is closed, red is open hope this helps all that have turnout that are not working.

Mike:

Welcome to the Model Railroader forums. I hope you stick around.

I wish I would have seen your questions earlier, I knew the answer.

Oh well, maybe next time.
