    I seem to be having a problem with one of my kato turnouts. It switches manually but wont switch with the controller the controller is good tried it with another turnout. How can I test the turnout to see whats going on with it. Thanks.

    Pull off that bottom plate. Make sure all those fine wires are soldered tight and havent snagged on any moving parts

    I found the problem could not get continuity from the power wire thought it was the plug but that was good I soldered a new power wire on re connected the plug and all is well, there must have been a break in the wire somewhere. Thanks for your help.
