I have a couple of these switches and controlers. Only problem I have is I don’t know how to hook them up. Anyone have any info?
I don’t have any specific knowledge of these; but it seems to me that there are only two possibilities:
The two fahnestock clips are connected each to one of the operating coils. The coils are returned to the outside rails. If this is the case, momentarily connecting your transformer to one of the clips and to an outside rail should throw the turnout.
The two fahnestock clips are connected each to one of the operating coils. The coils are returned to the center rails. If this is the case, momentarily connecting your transformer to one of the clips and to a center rail should throw the turnout. This is the same arrangement as Lionel the 1121 O27 turnout, except that no common terminal is provided on the turnout assembly.
Late AF O gauge electrics. Very simple. Green controller terminal connects to green terminal on switch, this will align turnout for straight move. Red terminal to red terminal—diverging move. Wire on controller to B+ on transformer. Common return through rails.
Have fun. I use AF switches exclusively and find them good performers.
