A Smart Turnout will allow one train to go Left, (Passenger train goes into the Station)
while the other train goes to the main line. (Freight train does not go into the station).
All trains with the magnet offset to the left will go left, while all trains with the magnet
offset to the right will go right.
The smart turnout can also have sensors placed before the turnout to force the
points to the correct orientation. (not shown) Magnets are not offset but placed as normal.
As the train passes over a sensor the turnout aligns to the proper orientation.
The Smart Turnout works for ALL trains- Electric, Battery and Live Steam.
See power hookup page for input power requirements.
For more fun, the YardMaster can directly drive a signal lamp synchronized with the
turnout. See the YardMaster manual for hookup details.
