<p>[quote user="hon30critter"]How do you control the servo? All we want is a manual toggle switch. The turnouts will not be DCC controlled.[/quote]</p> <p>You can use a Tam Valley Depot <em>Singlet II Servo DCC Accessory Decoder </em>on DC!<br /><a href="http://www.tamvalleydepot.com/products/singletservodecoder.html">http://www.tamvalleydepot.com/products/singletservodecoder.html</a></p> <p>From the description on the linked website: <span style="color:#000000;">The unit can be used without the DCC on DC layouts by using an AC or DC power supply.</span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000;">If you plan to use more than this one servo Tam Valley Depot offers solutions for 8 servos too, <em>the Octopuss III Eight Servo Driver</em> (DC only).</span></p> <p><span style="color:#000000;">Here is a less expensive way using a cheap servo tester. It requires some soldering: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-vbWRBx03Q">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-vbWRBx03Q</a><br />A description is on this website: <a href="http://www.trainelectronics.com/Servo-simple-controller/">http://www.trainelectronics.com/Servo-simple-controller/</a><br />Regards, Volker</span></p> <p> </p>
