We have just posted a new video to our YouTube channel taking a look at the ESU 51802 SwitchPilot Servo accessory decoder. Small, inexpensive servo motors are the ideal choice for all sorts of layout animation and motion. They are also a particularly good turnout or switch motor when combined with a digital decoder such as the SwitchPilot Servo. They allow you to throw the turnouts on your layout with a realistic slow speed similar to much more expensive stall motor switch machines. With a bit of ingenuity, you can create a servo linkage to control just about any element of a model railroad from various scales and sizes of turnouts to animation such as adding opening doors to an engine shed or controlling road crossing barriers. The ESU 51800 standard Switchpilot accessory decoder also comes with two servo outputs in addition to it four standard outputs, making it ideal if you already own motors for your turnouts but want to experiment with servos as well!
