I bought several used EZ track turnouts at a show last weekend.  They came without slide switches to control them. They have the green tri-wires with plugs. I can't find the number of the slide switches anywhere.  Anybody have it and is this the best way to go?

If you cut the plug off the end of the green wire/green extenstion cable you can use the Atlas #56 switch control button. They are available from Atlas, Walthers, Horizon Hobbies, and a bunch of other places on line.

The center wire from the cable goes to the center screw, the outside wires to the outside screws. If the direction of throw is backwards, just flip the outside wires. Using the Atlas control buttons also makes it very easy to wire two switches to one controller for a crossover.

If at first you don't succeed, throw it in the spare parts box.
