Hi
I am using Fleischmann point motors on a new N gauge layout. I want to control the points manually, rather than through DCC. I was thinking of using a toggle switch linked to a bipolar led to indicate which way the point is.
Can anyone advise me if this would work and what is the best type of switch to use. I was thinking of on-off-on, but then wondered if that was in fact correct.
Thanks

I'm not familiar with those point motors, but Peco and others use 2 solenoids to pull the point bar each way. They should not have a continuous current running through, otherwise the coils burn out. Using a CDU and a momentary contact is what is required.
