Atlas turn outs

[loryray]

Have Atlas turouts that have 3 wires. Red Green Black. Layout is "n" scale w/Digtronocs dcc. Instructins on Atlas package calls for ac power. How do I handle this when incoming power is from a trasformer &is dc tothe Digitrax.

Best to have a separate transformer for twin coil switches like your Atlas turnouts. Also suggest buying good quality MOMENTARY contact switches to control turnouts. Using capacitors will allow you to use a less powerful transformer, but complicates wiring a bit.

These are great little switches. ON - OFF - ON momentary and only $1.95 each. I've seen the same thing from hobby shops going for around $6.95 Take your pick.
