I have recently obtained a cab-1 tmcc system and trying to convert my layout over to remote control. I have enough Sc1's to do all my switches. Lionel switches I have no problem, but gargraves switches have been set up to be thrown by a N-J twin coil. The problem I am having is that the Lionel manual that came with the SC-1's indicates I have to hook up 12volt AC 1 amp relays. I have no idea of relays. I have called the source (radio shack) and a number of electronic stores in my area. Not to many people seem to know what it is I'm looking for. Apparently I need two relays for every N-J twin coil. I have about 12 switches in my yard operated by toggle switches. And I am at the point where I would like to up grade my control pannel as well. Any help with relays would be greatly appreciated as well as design software with a control panel would be of help. Thanks to all.
