Turnout control protection -
I
started building modules, I knew that I wanted remote turn-
out control. This is the method I use to keep my control
switches from getting damaged. The modules get moved
around a lot and this has worked awesome for years now.
The turnout controls are flush-mounted in the operator side fas-
cia, and control the turnout motors mounted under the table.
My controls are mini momentary center-off toggle switches,
mounted to 1 ¼” “tips” from Ace Hardware. Spring-loaded
momentary switches are needed for twin-coil snap-action

controls from getting
