I made an error. The topic should not be replace the PL-10 toggle switch, it is actually a PL-26. Sorry.
I would like to use a toggle switch that is smaller than the Peco PL-26 toggle to switch my peco table top switch machine. Can anyone tell me what I can use from Radio Shack? Is this a DPDT momentary on -off- momentary on toggle?
My plans are to run AC power to the toggle and then from the toggle to the turnout motor in a method that is similar to my Atlas turnouts. I have used Atlas and tyco since I was a kid. Now that I am retiring I am graduating to Peco, but when I bought the Peco table top switch motors, I did not think about getting the switches. The local hobby shop is not local or would have to order the PL-26, hense my desire to just run down to Radio Shack or the local Electronics Warehouse, both of which are closer to me than the hobby shop...
I just looked at the wiring diagram that came with my turnout motor and it shows something called a "CDU" that is between the AC power source and the switch. What is this? is it really necessary? I didn't think that this would be so hard. Nothing like Atlas turnouts I have?
Thanks
