Wiring Kato Turnout. What we first must know is that the Kato turnout control switches are not twin coil but rather DC polarity controlled. I do not do any thing special or make ANY modifications to run DCC on Unitrack.
I have 30 Kato turnouts that I want to wire to a control panel. That being the case we drilled a couple of ½-diameter holes through each joist fig. You are reading this correctly.
My layout working pretty well still a hang up here and there specifically at the turnouts.

This means that instead of two push buttons one to activate a coil on one side and another push button to activate a coil on the other side to pull the switch machine back one has to reverse the DC polarity of the coil to push and pull the turnout control.
