How many switches do you have or plan to have?

What kind of Accessory power is available for the relay circuit?

Is it acceptable to use a $2 DC-output wall-wart (which requires access to a wall-outlet socket)?  Or is it desirable/required to only have power from the Accessory AC (e.g., 14V, 16V) from an existing transformer?

Are you willing/able to solder a few components?

You should be able to do this for ~$5 per switch using a ~$3 timer-relay module from eBay/Asia and few 10-cent components.  Answer the above questions and I'll cook up something.

Hi Stan,

Initially, this is for two switches in a double reverse loop dogbone. I have several accessory transformers available and bags of wall-warts. I also don't mind buying one or two if it makes it easier. I can solder pretty good. I'm starting to wear out my iron. I assume this is a relatively simple single layer project. 

FYI, the LGB switch machine is a two wire machine. I believe it uses reverse polarity to throw the opposite direction.

I really appreciate it!
