Some common examples are stations or spawners. Some signs may require you to power them using Redstone. Signs can either be powered by or activate Redstone themself. It is worth to note, that not every sign allows targeting of a single cart. The first line contains either *cart* or *train* depending on if you want to target each cart separately or the train as a whole. Take a look at these instructions for installing a slow-motion motor to become more familiar.A sign is always structured the same way. And you can use different types on the same layout depending on your requirements. Which is right for you? That's all a matter of preference.

These motors operate realistically and can often run for decades without maintenance, but they are generally more expensive than twin-coils. Most are low-voltage and "stall" motors which draw a low current all the time to hold the points tight without burning out. Switch Motors are small motors which move the points back and forth.Disadvantages include a very fast action and high, though brief, amperage draw. These are commonly found in factory-powered switches. Twin-Coil machines use a simple twin-coiled electromagnet to throw the points.Model switches are generally powered by one of two devices. You can also add power to manual switch machines with aftermarket motors. Some switches come pre-wired and powered. Even if you don't use all of the connections at first, later improvements will be possible. Pre-wiring the eight connectors makes it easier to hook-up the switch motor once it is installed under the layout. In these cases, the switches will be numbered accordingly. Especially in O Gauge, switches which correspond to the popular curve sections (O-48, O-36, etc.) are commonly offered to make track planning much easier. Most switches are not a consistent curve radius. Few people have this type of room on their layout, but their trains are also much more forgiving. Mainline crossovers might be as large as a No. In typical railroad applications, most yards use No. Obviously, the prototype doesn't measure in inches, but the same principles apply. In other words, it takes four inches of length for the tracks to separate one inch, you have a No. The number equates to the length of the run divided by one unit of separation for the diverging routes. The larger the number, the longer the switch. Like the prototype, most model switches are sized by the number of the frog. 6 switches are a little more forgiving, though still very tight by prototype standards. 4 switches (on right) are quite compact but useful for industrial spurs.
