Title: Powering turnouts
Post by: devious56 on September 07, 2007, 04:43:15 PM
Howdy,

It's been a while since I've posted but I have a question that seems to have an obivious answer but,  I am using Atlas code 83 turnouts & switch machines, and Bachmann DCC power and locomotives.  Is there a source of AC power for the turnouts available, or do I need to use a seperate AC source?

Thanks for the help,
David   :)

Use the AC terminals on an analog (DC)  model railroad power pack as power supply for the turnout’s switch machine.
