Reply to "Wiring Question"

Jim, your plan appears to use FasTrack.  If so, yes it's easy to wire the pairs of switches so that each connected pair operates in tandem.  If you're using FasTrack, you'd connect the Remote Control's 4 wires as normal to one turnout.  EDIT: [Then you would need to run 3 additional wires from the Out, Ground, and Thru terminals on the first turnout to the same 3 corresponding terminals on the adjacent turnout.  A paralleled connection between the RSC Lights is unnecessary (this is either a +5 or -5VDC signal output from the turnout that controls which color the light is in the remote.]

This is known as wiring them in parallel (sometimes also referred to as parallel operation).

If using some other type of switches and/or machines, please provide the make and model of the switch machine.

EDIT: Richie posted while I was typing. He is right that you could rely on the Anti-derail feature instead of parallel wiring.
