Using NCE Switch-Kat and Kato 4ch Turnout Controller
Ivan asks:
“My HO track and turnouts are Bachmann. Can I use the Switch Kat and Kato 4ch controller? The Bachmann turnout has 3 wires, whereas Kato turnouts have two? How would you wire that so that it would work?”
SUBMIT YOUR QUESTION
Track is track, same for the turnouts so it doesn’t matter who makes them.
The Bachmann should have a red and green wire to use for power red to +, green to – if it’s marked that way that’s all you need or red/black.
If your wanting to add DCC I would go with one company’s products, you can mix and match some of it but you have to know what your doing.
