Manually Controlled Signals

#1

Post by dougieb1903 »

Everything I've read recently applies to DCC set up. I'm looking to install manually controlled 2 aspect signals (old school). My question surrounds the correct switch to use. Will a momentary (On) Off (On) SPDT work for these signals. If not what switch type should I use. Thanks in advance Dougie B.

Hi
For two aspect you need a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) switch On-On type. Like this example... link to switch example

If Single Pole are not readily available use one side of a Double Pole Double Throw (DPDT) switch.
