Hello,
I need a diagram of the underside of a bachmann remote turnout.

Also wanted to say this is a great forum with tons of great info and loads of good people.

Thanks to all

I decided against using my DCC controller for my turnouts and crossovers as I will not be able to controll my locos and switches at the same time unless I use 2 controllers one for locos one for accys.
I purchased a seperate 16vac power supply to run my control panel
Here is a link to a pic of my controll panel
I used SPST (on)-off-(on) momentary switches
I am adding lights to show which direction the track is in soon

Hello,
I had a micro switch go bad and it made one of my EZ-Track remote turnouts remain powered for an unusually long time
I replaced the micro switch however the turnout seems to have burnt out
makes noise but won't switch.
Does anyone know if they make replacements for the turnout switches or do I need to replace the entire turnout?

WOW !!   
Thanks for all the input
Since I am using the EZ-Track remote turnouts and crossovers I have no switch motors my layout is space restricted so 4'x10' is all I can do.

I have completed the track and have a NCE DCC Power CAB system for controll
I have a seperate 16VAC power supply for my crossovers/turnouts and accessories.
I like the idea of the DPDT setup but don't like the constant power issue.

Here is a link to my train site it has some pictures of my layout and controls

I have 18 SPDT and 20 DPDT switches so I would definitely like to go the switch panel route for now.

I am planning on eventually using computer controls and running it from my old laptop but for now will go with toggles.

Thank You
is a SPDT momentary (on)-off-(on) toggle switch ok for this.
or should it be a DPDT (on)-off-(on) toggle switch?

Also I would like to have LED's to indicate which direction my turnout or crossover has active

I would like these to be on my controll panel over and under my switches.

I have searched everywhere and can find no schenatic or explanation on how to keep the LED lit after the switch returns to center

CAN YOU HELP??

Thanks agian
