    Realistic Switches

    I have decided that i am going to use #8 on the crossovers and #6 in the yards. But what i am getting at is who sells the switches with out the sheet metal points that move? I am looking for the ones that have the rail as the points. I know Atlas is the one with the sheet metal points.

    Tortoise Installation

    1) Is power supply of 4.7V 700Ma enough to power 12 of them 2) Is 22 Gauge wire running from the switch to the switch machine enough or should i go with a heavier wire. I am going to use 18 Gauge for a bus to the switches that make the torotise work.
