I'm finally on the planning stages of a layout that will actualy fit where I have room and I'm looking to build it from K track. Thing is I found a fair but of what I need on EBay that comes with two manual turn outs. Can these be fitted with motors and the below baseboard mounting kit or not? Also, can you order them from marklin? I couldn't find a spare part list for the turn outs.

It is from Wolfgang Leitenberger's Eisenbahn Clinic webpage. Click the "Project" link on the left, then select Servo Motor towards the bottom of the page. http://www.eisenbahnclinic.com/ r/Thomas

I use portions of the Marklin underboard mounting kit (only the tab that hooks to the switch mechanism and the above board mount and cover) Here is a picture of the motors (with my Grandson inside my helix watching the operation. )
