I need some help regarding Micro Engineering turnouts. I have a 2X4 stub yard set up to test some of my older brass and MDC steam engines. Naturally, these are all DC and I will continue to use this setup until I get enough cash to convert them to DCC. My problem is that I thought these turnouts were power routed which would make it easier to ground throw them as I test the engines. Since I've already laid the track and turnouts in place how can I convert them to a power route setup.
All information greatly appreciated.

I have several ME code 70 and code 83 turnouts and they are power routed. Mine are about15 years old and not been a problem with electrical continuity.The points should lock in place. In fact I have one in the yard that doesn't have a ground throw. Might check points with ohm meter. Phil
