I have recently replaced some of my turnouts with peco(code 80's). I would like to remote them but I have no under table access. Is there a side mount available(I have not been able to locate one)? If so, what can I use my regular power pack 16V power? Will my old Atlas motors have enough power?
The Bullfrog from Fast Tracks or the Tortoise is an option. There are also a lot of articles online about making your own turnout control too.

Thank you for such fast response. I'll look into the options you've suggested.
You said you need a side mount. Peco makes them, #PL11. I have 4 on my new build because tortoise won't fit underneath the layout in those places. I have not removed the spring in the turnout using them and they seem to have enough power for the throw. MB Klein has em for $16.19 each. You should also consider getting a Peco capacitor discharge unit to power them. I don't think the old Atlas side mounts will throw the spring loaded Peco turnouts but I have never tried it. Hope this helps. Doug

No problem. I would suggest you also join theRailwire, lots of good info for the N Scale modeler. While MRR's forum is nice, it does not have many N scalers on here.
