Using miniature momentary pushbutton switches for Turnout Control

 

 

I have 3 ways to control my turnouts:

 

1. I use my MTH DCS TIU/AIU units to operate separate relays to control individual RealTrax turnouts. I can set up via my handheld any combination of turnout positions.

 

2. I also use a Turnout Route Control panel that has miniature red and green pushbuttons.

 

3. I also have another panel that has the RailKing controllers supplied with the turnouts.

 

I can control my turnouts using any of these three methods.

 

Note: All the turnout solenoids (actuators) are powered by separate 18v fused AUX circuits.  I do not use track power for turnout control.

 

See photos attached.
