We are using 2, # 8 Ross Switches to connect two tracks. Controls are #1000 Z stuff switch machines / # 1002 control button and one #1008 relay to control track power. The track power control works fine but need a circuit to hook up switch machines and #1002 push button control. I'm missing something, All the circuits I have seen do not show the yellow wire off the relay, and how it is used.

About a third of the way down this page Toy Train Layout Wiring - Engine Safety Relays
see "Lift Bridge with Lift Assist Serving the Outside Main Line".
Toward the bottom Wires are shown connected and "Yellow Relay wire ties to Red Switching Rail for Straight Path."
Thanks Susan. We got it, The issue was that the yellow wire from the relay goes to white and red on the other sw machine and push button, while the AC on the #1000 sw machine goes to the "hot side of power and not common. never knew that was a problem with AC. Appreciate the help. David
