Well, to those of you who have been so kind about answering my newbie Z Scale questions...well, I’ve got another one...😬
I have purchased Rokuhan tracks, replacing the original MTL track due to my experience with inconsistent MTL turnouts (stalling, hesitation, stopping).
I received my Rokuhan track yesterday and find that the turnouts are two-wire, and not three-wire, that I am used to. I had planned on using my Atlas turnout controls...but they are three-wire...
I also am using an MTL/MRC 1300 power pack on my layout.
In the past, when I modeled in N Scale, I used Bachmann EZ track and their switch controls (the ones that snap to each other and ultimately, to the Bachmann power pack. My experience, though, was that the linking of the controllers was not always solid, causing inconsistent electrical power to the turnouts. Because of this experience, I was planning on using Atlas products. I did not notice that Rokuhan turnouts are two-wire.
Can I use my Atlas switch controls or should I switch to Rokuhan?
Thanks
Jim
