"ANOTHER BLUEPOINT TURNOUT QUESTION"
Posted by TrainsRMe1 on Friday, February 19, 2016 12:41 PM

Hey Guys,

First I want to thank all of you that answered my question about the Blue point machines, now I do have another question about them, the question is, since I'm going to build a panel with DPDT swtches, can you add LED lights along with the switches thru the Bluepoints???

Thanks, looking forward to hear from you soon!!.....Trainsrme1

What are the DPDT switches for?  Are you going to use slide switches with mechanical linkages to operate the Bluepoints?

If so, the answer is yes.  You could also use the contacts on the Bluepoints themselves to operate LEDs.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
