Hello all <br /> I am using on off push buttons from radio shack to turn on and off my engine service tracks. I can run engines in and shut off power to the track so the engines don't sit and idle. I have been trying for days to get bulbs to lite on the control panel when the tracks are powered. Just can't get the right wiring arrangement. I know I could probably just run a pair of wires to each track and they would come on when power is applied. But I'm sure there is a way to power the lights off the push buttons. Can anyone suggest a web site where there might be a schematic to show how to do this? Or a book? <br />Thanks <br />John
