I went to the local store to get the Easy Wiring book, even though the last time I glimpsed through it didn't reveal much. I checked the store's inventory of switches, and their electrical expert was there and we talked a bit. He tested the KATO switch, even took it apart, and says it is DPDT momentary. He said that the LEDs he had showed me previously, which switch from green to red depending on the juice flow, would turn off after the switch was thrown as there was no continous current (I was thinking: green means straight and red means take the turn). He couldn't think of how to wire everything, I was even going with toggle or slide switches instead of a pushbutton that I originally wanted. The pinstripe idea sounds good for the layout on the panel. Masking tape and spray paint was the way I was going to go, I might still. My problem may be space, it's a small fit where my controller is but it is just enough room; the panel will take up some of that space. I want one panel to control everything, being the sole operator, so I have work out the wiring schemes before hand (as that books suggests). I could split it into two in an L shape, but both will be near each other (I have two "sections" in my layout). Thanks, Glen
