Beginner here...NOVICE!
I have a layout for an N Scale EZ Track, two lines, both with standard remote turn outs. I was under the assumption that these are powered turn outs, meaning, the turn out or spur line would not be hot until the switch was directed. Apperantly not?? At least mine doesn't work that way.
Could someone tell me how to wire this so I can run both lines at once, and, leave engines on the sides with no power to them.
I have the switches connected to AC accessories on an older Tech II Loco-Motion 1500 transformer.
I tried to attach a pdf file but it wouldn't let me...so, if anyone can help me...contact me by email & I could send you the layout.
Thanks
The early turnouts were power routing. Last year they changed to constantly on as Bachmann switches to DCC as the new norm. The only way to kill the sidings is to put an insulated rail joiner or cut a gap in a rail and then wire a shunt with an on/off switch to bridge the connection between the gapped track.
