Lionel Dwarf Signal With Lionel Fastrack Command Switches | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Trainlover9943OGR Forum Member

Can you use a Lionel Dwarf signal (6-12883) to show the position of the switch (Red for occupied siding, green for unoccupied siding)? In particular, can you just wire the signal to the switch like you can on Atlas switches like in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...WymTNBHo&t=2981s

@Trainlover9943 Its funny, I just asked this very question today and I was told "SEARCH" the forum. Lo and behold, I found your post! It looks like 4 years later neither of us got an answer. LoL

In the old days it was easy to hook up the old Lionel O-31 tubular track switches to a 153 signal or a dwarf signal so that the light would change with the direction of the switch. Does anyone know i this can be done with the FastTrack command Switches?

Lol. I found a relay that will work but that's about it.

I was hoping for a simple wire hook up. But are you able to explain how you eventually did it?

I still haven't done it lol. However these are what I'm going to use.
