I want to add turnout position indication using leds to my layout. I'm using Atlas turnouts with switch machines attached. My thought is to add a green led for thru position and red for divert. When I throw the momentary toggle switch for the turnout to THRU, the green led will light. When I throw the toggle switch to DIVERT, the red led will light. Because the switch machines cannot be energized continously, the led will not stay lit.
Could someone provide me with an electronic circuit to accomplish this. I could use an Atlas 200 snap relay, but being retired on a fixed income, I'm trying to limit my expenses. I have 14 turnouts on my layout.
I already have adequate leds, resistors of various values, capacitors of various values and bc547 npn transistors to build the circuits.
Thank you for any help you can provide.
