Reply to "Looking for Pic of a Ross Switch modified for non-derailing"

Basil, these switches were purchased as non-derailing with Z-Stuff switch machines.

This photo shows the turnouts secured with track screws.  This pair of turnouts is on a shelf so the terminal strip is on the same surface as the turnouts.  The small yellow and green wires are the "trigger" wires.

These are #8 turnouts that have long enough rails to activate non-derailing.  The tan cable is telephone wire that I use as switch signal wire.  The green arrows point to the soldered connections of those wires to the "trigger" tracks.  The green #1s indicate the hot glue insulation to maintain electrical conductivity between the "trigger" tracks.
