Ross 4-way Turnout non-derailing feature

Hello,Just call directly to Steve Brennisen the founder and owner of Ross.

The phone number should be on the website.I heard him say on The Notch 6 podcast,that he is happy to help people that run his product.

In fact,he stated in the interview that that is what excites him these days,by helping people make these custom switches work with any kind of engine,and realizing their true superiority over other switches.

You can also e mail him at:steve@rossswitches.com.He sounded like the most genuine fellow you could ever meet,and I am in the process right now of buying ALL ROSS Switches for my new layout.Lots of money,but LOTS of premier product that should outlive me and my layout. Hope this Helps.-Kenny

John, here's a thought--take the pair of control rails for the left pair of switches and wire them to the left position on the approach switch's machine; and do the same for the right pair of switches connecting their control rails to the right position of the approach switch's machine; i.e. you have essentially created your non-derailing feature by treating the left and right pairs of switches as a single switch.

If a train approaches on either of the left two tracks, it will trigger the approach switch to align for the approaching train; same if the train is approaching on either of the right pair of tracks.

As I said, just a thought.  And as mentioned previously, talk to Steve.

Very good advice. Then you know it will be done correctly by using Ross' advice. They definitely know their switches.
