Bachmann turnout switches

[rrinker]

Yes, the Bachmann turnouts are power routing. This means they act as an electricl switch as well, and only the track that is lined up gets power. With the power feed as shown, and the turnouts lines to run around the outside, power gets everywhere, Throw the turnouts to take the inner track, and now the only place with power is the left side. Power can't get past the A and B turnouts because those two turnouts are now connecting the right side of the layout with the inner loop.
