i have a problem and hope someone can help me..
i have n-gauge setup using peco turnouts and motors and use SP momentary switches to activate the motors and also a 16v AC power supply.
what i need to know and hope that someone can give me a sketch of the correct setup to wire a led (both GREEN) to each turnout so i know which line has the points turned for (mainline or sidings). In other words, if the points are set for the siding, then that led will light up green and the other green led will go out and vice versa. The led's will b on my switch control panel and not the track.
i have attached a drawing of what i think is correct but when i tried it one led only flickered and the turnouts activated so i had to disconnect one of the leads off the switch. I'm not a electronics expert..(tho wish i was nowadays)
any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
