You need to have two power wires. The first wire connects to the motor in the
switch house and to the polarity switch, either end of the switch is ok. The
second wire connects to the power source and to the other end of the switch.
Turn your power on and use the polarity switch to control the switch house. I
used the simple monorail type battery box from the Znap set and only used up
one battery during the entire Gats show, that one battery powered all the
switch houses and uncouplers.
