I have 2 pairs of #222 standard gauge switches that need wired up. How do you wire them up to the switch controllers?? I have 4 switches and 4 switch controllers. Is there a fixed voltage wire that gives the switches power from transformer?? or does it use track power?? do just 3 wires wire up to switches from switch controller??..thanks.
The 1929 catalog shows the controller wired directly to the turnout with a 3-wire cable; so it must be powered from the track.
OK…thats what i thought…but I have seen other #222 switches with a 4th wire going into the switching mechanism…because a complete #222 switch has fiber pins like an 022 switch, and the 022 switch has fixed voltage…I just thought it might be cool to have fixed voltage for the switches…thanks.
