How is one supposed to know which way they are going without physically looking? I have the little panel that shows which numbers they are with the slide/push (those took me awhile to figure out) switches[:I] I was considering using bi-color LEDs (I'm an electronic type guy) on the panel, but I don't want to end up with something that drifts too far from realism. Also, these are Atlas units, can I get the indicators they used to actually have for prototypes (the one's the kids always broke the lenses out of)[?] I have the Walther's catalog....but like the internet, quickly forget what I originally sat down to look for[:)] Reed switches...I apparently have two, one I physically can see (ballast didn't cover it). Two lights flash as the train moves around the track...apparently controlled by the switches...are those just to tell me the train is moving? They are just as the train leaves from the hidden staging area. Ideas, suggestions, comments are all appreciated... Thanks!
