1121 Switches to constant power?

SteamWolfSteamWolfOGR Forum Member
Hey!

I love my 1121 switches. They're great! Small, effective and they keep with the O-27 radius. Problem is, they suck when you've only got 8-10 volts to the track. No snap like they should.

Was wondering, since the controller box is different than the regular O-31 switches, is there a specific way to wire these up to Acc power?

Thanks.

There is a big concern to be addressed, however, in that the switch coils will stay energized when a train is parked on a switch - an in-depth conversation HERE.


       


thanks for the links... i'm not worried about cooking the coils as i don't tend to park trains on the switches, however, the dude's instructions are kinda like reading chinese. Does anyone have a step by step photograph sequence?
