Model Railroad Turnout Control, Switch Machine and Decoder

This is the method I use to operate the turnouts on my On3 model railroad, however it will work for any scale.
the parts I use are the following

Great explanation! And great patience!

This is way super cool! I’ve been thinking of using momentary push button control for my servo thrown turnouts. In my case I was going to use a separate bi-color LED but what you’ve done is way cleaner. I’ve gotta get some of these and try it. This is great! Thanks.

BTW, could you post the jig you built for bending the LED LEGS.

I built the jig from styrene pieces, an image that shows the dimensions show up in the video
