Can someone recommend an analogue power pack to control my remote turnouts?

If you are handy with clipping/stripping/connecting wires, you could just use a wall-wart transformer from some old unused electronic toys.
12 to 16 V AC output should work.  Activate the switch motors for only a very short time.

A DC power pack output of 12 volts would probably work, too.  Any old HO powerpacks lying around? 

Otherwise, Bachmann power pack 44212 should suffice.  It has 2 push-insert-release wire terminals for AC accessories.  I have some new.

Contact me off line: joebarbATwwtDOTnet

Hope this helps.

If your loco is too heavy to lift, you'd better be able to ride in, on or behind it.
