"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.

"Nice addition"

sawdust4wrk

Everything showed up at the right time, I can complete my turnouts and power up my system. The car is another welcomed addition

"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.
