At the Flagstaff (AZ) Model Railroad club we use Switchmaster turnout motors powered by relays. When the track diagram mounted toggle is "Off" the route aligns to normal. We use either three color LEDs or pairs of red/green LEDs wired to the power to the motor to indicate the position. We have found these to be 90% reliable, only when the motor breaks do we have problems.
