Unfortunately , I have never seen the switch machines available for E-Z track turnouts.  Atlas manual turnouts have switch machines as seperately available items.  I am going to have to go into the shop to lookat the E-Z track turnouts to see with they could be retrofited with undertable mounted switch machines.

As far as I know the EZ-Track manual turnouts can't be fitted with remote switch machines.

Back again. I have looked at the manual turnouts and noticed the track throwbar has a pin on both sides. This should allow you to use manual ground throws ,high switch stands and therefore switch machines by other sources .

You should be able to fit the Tortoise machines and they are relatively inexpensive unless of course you have 100 switches.
