If you want to make the operation of your layout a lot more enjoyable, slow things down and have more hands-on control, the Blue Point\u2122 is what you need!
\nIdeal for yards, sidings and anywhere else you don’t need a motor- driven turnout controller. These are small and very easy to install. Attach them to the benchwork under the turnout, then use our\u00a0FLEX LINK\u2122\u00a0system to connect the Blue Point\u2122 to the fascia knob. The Blue Point\u2122 includes two sets of electrical contacts-rated at 5 amps.<\/p>\n

We’ve also had a number of questions about using the Blue Points\u2122 under 2″ thick foam. The simple answer is yes, they work great. The tension and throw adjustment slider provides more than enough range to handle long runs of spring wire. We include .032″ diameter spring steel wire with the product, which is quite rigid. You can also slip a brass tube over wire that extends through the foam to provide more power at the throw bar, if needed.<\/p>\n

Installation<\/strong><\/a>
\nInstallation is very simple. Use our\u00a0Flex Link\u2122\u00a0system for hooking up Blue Points\u2122 to your fascia. These kits include everything you need.<\/p>\n

Specs<\/strong>
\nWe’ve designed the Blue Point\u2122 Turnout Control to operate turnouts in scales from\u00a0N<\/strong>\u00a0through\u00a0O<\/strong>. The electrical contacts are double pole, double throw (DPDT) rated at 5 amps, so they have plenty of capacity to power a frog or just about anything else you’ll want to drive.<\/p>\n
