I purchased what appears to be some older LGB electric switches. The turnouts have a split in the rails and the electric thrower has 3 screw posts on the end. Any info would help, such as when they were made, how to connect them, and are they as good as the newer ones. Thanks zman

The motors are DC. You power them using a double throw passing contact switch - much like most OO/HO kit. One switched feed wire is fed to each outer terminal and the center one is the common return.
You do need a passing contact switch which only gives a short pulse of power - a normal switch will burn out the motor. Or some people use push buttons or stud contact - anything that gives a 'momentry' contact.
