Wiring Tortoise Turnouts together

Feb 11, 2004 1 Replies

I have about 12 Tortoise Slow Motion Switch machine (made by Circuitron) and was wondering if wiring them to terminal blocks then to a DC power supply would work? Also any problems doing this w/DPDT switches? Not to big on SPDT switches, the ground & all. jaijef



PS--any help would be appreciated. Got confused reading the Easy Model RR Wiring book from Model RR & Kalmbach books



This is the way I am doing it at the club that I belong to. Use the directions on the instruction sheet that comes with the motors.
