Thank You Mike. I appreciate the explanation. I didn't realize they didn't exist in the real world. We are space limited , aren't we. I'm starting to build a control panel with toggle switches and LED's to indicate switch position out on the layout (including the yards) and realized how do i show positions on these 3 & 4 ways that i can see at a glance. I like your idea of using dwarf signals to show switch position, but on all our yards, the dwarfs would be facing away from us. 3 red/green bi-color LEd's (1 on each track on the control panel for a 3 way switch ) would work, but i've read here on the forum that bi-color LED's aren't compatible with DZ1000 switch controllers. Wonder if they're compatible with the dz2500's.

Thanks Mike

Tom
