You will need to add insulated pins to the short straight rail and the long curved rail on the diverging section for the anti-derailing function to work correctly. Note that the curved rail has a small gap in the middle of it. You only need to add insulated pins to the center pins if you want to turn power off to the siding or for isolated blocks. <br /> <br />To run the switch off of fixed voltage AC (~ 14 volts) you need to connect it to the center pin of the jack on the side of the switch motor housing (the spring connects track power to the center pin and is disconnected when the fixed voltage plug is inserted). <br /> <br />I can e-mail you a diagram of the switch if you are interested. <br /> <br />P.S., you will get more answers on the CTT forum: <br />http://www2.classtrain.com/community/forum/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=95 <br /> <br />
