Hi, I was wondering what type of switches are best to be used for electric turnours. At the moment I'm using simple push to make button switches ( red and black to distinguish ), these type of push to make, tend to corrode from inside after some time and lose contact. But lately I saw some switches from ROCO, which also have two way lights on to show which way the switch was turned last and also has a saftey system that if you keep on pressing these switch my mistake, the turnout motor won't burn out.
I actually like these switches (roco ones ) but I guess these don't exist any more. So I would like to find an alternative ( if possible) to make some kind of switching device, which will mark with red of green light ( on the switchboard / console ) and has some kind of protection for the motors.
Even a small circuit would be good, the problem is that I don't know much about electronics apart from soldering and building up kits
Can some one help me out with this problem?
Thanks
