Willow Glen Junction Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hi all, Question: I have zero signals or auxillary control on my MTH DCS layout which is DC powered; all of my switches are Aristo and I control them manually with my finger because I like running my trains, not fixing things. I would like to connect the LGB signal 51960 (American Semaphore) to one of those aristo switches and have it reflect the state of the switch, meaning when I flip the switch with my finger, the semaphore changes. I've done alittle reading and see that the LGB signal runs off "half rectified AC", so seems like I need a converter from the DC power of the track plus the state of the switch of some sort. Anybody have any idea how to do this? I think what I want here is not normal based on the LGB documentation. If someone knows of a native DC powered solution to show the state of the switch, I'm open to that too. thanks, keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Glen Junction Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 poking around on google, I found this site. This guy seems to make exactly what I want, a signal light that reflects the state of the switch: https://hollywood-electronics.com/block.html does anybody on here know of this site and have experience with the products?
