Help with connection points on my Kato N Scale track plan

[LDL]

The black dots are the feeders and the triangles are the isolators, yes? How is power getting to the indicated turnout?  If the points are set straight, no power flows to the points end of the turnout.


Section names- click a piece of track in the named section, not the name. The name is part of the section's description, like the color.

Feeders will be soldered directly to the turnout at the single / entering end (don't know what that end is called) and that's how they'll get their power.

Yes, the triangles are the isolators.  I do understand that.  The turnouts are power routing, so power will be routed to whichever rail it's set to, right?  As long as we have feeders connected to the entry of the turnout (soldered directly to it) we should be good, no?

Thanks,

Please find Kato wiring instructions.  I seem to be unable to explain it.

Please find Kato wiring instructions.  I seem to be unable to explain it.

So we may have to make every single turnout its own section/block then and solder wires directly to the turnouts to give them power.

Is that what you're saying?

We've done that for some already, but thought on a few others we could get by with having just one feeder for a few turnouts, but I guess you're saying that won't work.

I've looked at the Kato turnout wiring and to me, it looks like as long as it's fed from the incoming end (not the frog end) it will have power and work. 

Sorry if I've frustrated you and sorry if I'm still not grasping something.

Maybe you could point to a diagram or something if I'm still missing something, but I think as long as we solder directly to the turnout to give it power, it should be fine, no?

Thanks again for everything.

I've also looked at your plan with the feeders layer and that's pretty much exactly how we're doing it.

Ok, good luck!
