Hidden under each turnout is a snap-action Peco PL-10E solenoid motor (with an extended operating pin for a 5/8” maximum base) with a Peco PL-9 mounting plate. Each motor is wired to a Bachmann Switch Pilot accessory decoder that can operate up to four motors. I have wired each turnout to automatically switch three sets of LED signal lights (one for each direction). Everything is operated with a Bachmann Dynamis Decoder.
If you have an analogue system and insulated frog turnouts, fit a Peco PL-13 accessory switch to each PL-10E motor and wire each to a PL-26 passing contact switch (various colours). Six PL-26 switches can be mounted together on a Peco PL-27 console.
Live frog turnouts require a Peco PL-15 micro switch to control polarity and can also operate panel indicator lights.
As a relatively new modeller myself, I can recommend ‘Newcomer’s Guide to Model Railways’ by Brian Lambert.

Almost any turnout will work with the “Tortoise” slowmo switch machine from Circuitron. It offers xtra connections for feed back, panel lights, etc. It is easy to install and works & looks very realistic.
Thanks CJB
