TC-2 Turnout Alternator Twin Coil

TC-2 Turnout Alternator Twin Coil

Details:

The CIRCUITRON TC-2 Turnout Control is a twin-coil switch machine controller with identical output capability to the TC-1, designed for automated and semi-automated turnout operation in model railway layouts. Its key difference is simplified control logic, using a single input terminal that toggles turnout position each time it is activated.

This alternating action makes the TC-2 ideal for layouts where trains or control systems need to switch routes automatically between two paths, supporting realistic and efficient routing without manual point alignment.

The TC-2 is designed for automatic route selection, allowing trains to take alternate paths around a layout with each trigger event. This makes it especially useful for continuous running loops, staging yards, and automated layout operations.

It retains the same output capability and performance characteristics as the TC-1, ensuring reliable actuation of twin-coil switch machines. The simplified single-input design reduces wiring complexity while maintaining full compatibility with CIRCUITRON control systems.

The unit operates from a 12–18V AC or DC power supply and is constructed on a 3" square printed circuit board for straightforward installation in control panels or under-baseboard layouts.
