Question for scale turnout users

Not S, but on my three rail pike, I use #208S.

The Switchmaster line of turnout motors will work with most any thickness of base material.  A 2" foam base is not a problem.  Click here:

I've been using the 202S, 204S and 210S ground throws since the beginning (except I've been too lazy to set up the targets on the 04's an 10's.) 

The trick is to make sure they are spot on dead-center.  I set the switch points and the ground throws mid-way and triple check before securing the throws.
