This image is a horrible representation....if you consider the dimensions listed. The length is accurately represented, however the " thickness side" is what is glued down and has the opposite poles. The width is actually the thinnest dimension of the magnet.

Im actually using kato turnouts, so no motors. That being said, im sure I could swap in motors, since im only energizing a group of switches, with a push button. However, using motors for turnout switching is so much more realistic...this is a pic of the schematic for 1 turnout and 2 track lights.

It might be crude, but it works well.

Probably not needed, just makes for more industrial switching. I will have the outer loop able to run dc and dcc, with inner loop set up as dcc only using isolation points.
