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.
