Title: Turnouts
Post by: Rae Wallace on November 20, 2012, 07:08:10 PM
I have bought my grandson a large scale Bachmann trainset 2 years ago.  I recently bought 2 manual turnouts.  I wouldlike to know if they can be made remote switches.  I can not find an "engine" to make the manual switch a remotely operated switch.  Help!

I have not dealt with Bachmann switches so I don't know if they make a bolt up Switch machine but these are a couple that can be made to work pretty easy.

Universal choke cable (as seen on e-bay)?

Those are a great Idea Joe.


I think he is looking for motorized unit though.
