Episode 115: It's time to wire the remote turnouts on the new layout! In this portion of the layout, I am using K-Line's O42 diameter turnouts with O27 profile track. These turnouts are wired for constant accessory voltage and similar wiring can be used for Lionel turnouts that have been modified for constant voltage operation (see link below). I also talk about conventional Lionel turnout wiring in the video.
