Many thanks for the reply Richard. I purchased a Dapol signal to try it out and it works great. Initially I thought that you meant positions 7, 8 and 9 on the Cobalt. That setup just continually changed the points. I then swopped to positions 4, 5 and 6 and, hey presto, it's doing exactly what I need it to do. Thanks again.

f i were you id use the traintech dpol signal controller give it the same address as the point it will work all ok connecting the 2 yellow wires to the point motor spare contacts wont work as the need to be shorted every time you want the signal to alter connecting them to the point will make the signal work every other time you change the point and it will be out of sink

have a look at the traintech device works a treat for me

Thanks for the reply. I am not ready to implement this yet so I will read up a bit more before making the move.

I can't find the answer to this anywhere so here goes in hope ...

I am using Cobalt IP Digital point motors on my DCC OO layout. At the moment they purely control the points and I change them via a Gaugemaster Prodigy controller as accessories. I would like to add some Dapol motorised semaphore signals and have these automatically changed whenever the appropriate point is changed. In my naïve mind I think that I can do this by connecting the yellow wires from the signal to the point motor in some way. Is this possible and, if so, how can it be done? If it can't be done directly what do I need to add and what would be the wiring there? I don't want to use the Cobalt levers in case you are thinking along those lines.

Many thanks in advance.
