i want my layout to have a drawing of my layout that shows were the switches are but thay wont work becouse it takes 5 prongs (2 for power 3 from the motor) but i dont want to use to atlas one becouse it is to big
help please?????
You want to use a single-pole, double-throw, momentary-contact switch instead of the Atlas control that came with the turnout. I don't have a wiring diagram handy, but these switches are easy to wire (soldering required, though) and much more reliable than the Atlas ones.
One of the wires from the left side of the Atlas control goes to the center post of the new SPDT switch. The other wire from the left side goes to the center post of the turnout itself. These are the two power supply connections. The other two posts of the SPDT switch go to the outer posts of the turnout.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
thanks for the help
