"Switch Control"

Clinky (Bonita Springs, FL)

The Atlas Control Box works best for switch Control. Have tried toggles of various types, on-off-on and on-on (which fried the switch)

"Control Box"

ajmanzer (New York)

Glad to know that these parts were available after digging out my train set from thirty years ago. Added them to what I used back then and work perfectly. Nice to know the price wasn't outrageous also after that many years. I recommend this product and if needed I will buy more.

"Smooth Turnout Control"

johncpo41 (www.hobbiesinabarn)

If you need fast and smooth control for your turn-outs (switches) these are by far the best. With the touch a of the button in either direction your HO or N scale trains will get right on track every time! Be sure to follow the wiring directions to the letter or you will have problems as these wire directly to the AC Accessory panel on your transformer. Link them in as many as you need for a constant control for as many turnouts as you have.

"Great component"

kenklink80

Just what I needed for my turnouts. Easy to wire and use. A good quality part.
