Hi, Thanks again for all the previous help, as usual when it comes to electronics am in need of some guidance. I have a large number of CR Signals ground signals that I am ready to wire up but unlike the logic that followed with the three aspect am a little confused how to wire them up, I will be using them all manually, have the relevant switches from Maplins, powered by a Gaugemaster M10 box so just the wiring from the signal to the switch am looking for help with anyone with experience with them. Thanks in advance

Hi, Have done a bit of searching but couldn't find anything specific and also deliberated over which was the best forum to ask but here seemed best. I am pretty useless with electrics though with the help of this forum have had no issues wiring a large DCC layout with 50 or so seep motors etc for points, but anyone lets assume 'novice' so much so the instructions with the signals just go over my head. I am looking to install a number of CR Signals mainly 3 aspect signals to my DCC layout. I will be using switches which will be in the panel board alongside the switches for the points (nothing automated) and I get the wiring from the signal to the switch, although my assumption was for three way switches for the three aspect signals, logical, but what do I use for the signals that have 'feathers'? Ok I understand the need to power the switches with a low voltage controller, but with the points the switches are all linked/looped so only one wire needs to go to the controllers, can that be the same principle with the switches for the signals? Also for powering the signals is it best to effectively have a 'bus' with the signals concurrently plugged into it again meaning only one low voltage transformer required. Anyway any advice would be appreciated on what switches are best to purchase for the ground signals (two aspect) main signals (three aspect) and signals with route indicators and more importantly the most effective wiring solution. Thanks in advance TD
