John,

   Let me know how well these switches work with your 400E, will be very interested in knowing!

This product was well tested and runs anything STD gauge. Ross makes a 72 switch that fits the footprint of a MTH 72 switch. That footprint is that of a single straight and 72 curve. Ross also makes a #4 switch for cross overs in STD Gauge. They need to make cross overs in both angles.

We just solved this in the electrical forum. There were a number of solutions proposed, but the easiest involves using the LGB 12070 Supplementary Switch that attaches to the LGB switch machine. Here is the link to the thread. https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...7#118696450449922347

See Keith’s (Oman) post near the end for the wiring diagram. 

One note, above I say that the LGB switch uses DC. That is not correct. The LGB switch uses 18V half rectified AC. This is similar to, but not the same as DC. The PIKO and LGB switch control boxes mentioned above work with either AC or DC and the switch will work with DC, but you will see that the switch power in the anti-derail circuit uses AC as the power source for the LGB Switch machine.
