Using miniature toggle switches for Block Control

Just curious, how do you control your turnouts?

Using miniature momentary pushbutton switches for Turnout Control

I have 3 ways to control my turnouts:

1. I use my MTH DCS TIU/AIU units to operate separate relays to control individual RealTrax turnouts. I can set up via my handheld any combination of turnout positions.

2. I also use a Turnout Route Control panel that has miniature red and green pushbuttons.

3. I also have another panel that has the RailKing controllers supplied with the turnouts.

I can control my turnouts using any of these three methods.

Note: All the turnout solenoids (actuators) are powered by separate 18v fused AUX circuits.  I do not use track power for turnout control.

See photos attached.

I also have a Dispatcher Panel that has colored LEDs which show the status of all turnouts and blocks. Red and green LEDs are for turnout position and yellow LEDs are for block power status.
