I will seek it out.
I got all the wiring complete to the new track section.
For track power I screwed in a 2-position screw type barrier strip under the place where the new track sections pigtail will lie (I drilled a hole through the subroadbed at that spot) and tied a heavy 2 conductor line back to the last jumper spot on the (then) stub track. The track's pigtail was already soldered onto the piece of scrap O-88 curve that I used for the last little bit to complete the curve. This new section will be an extension of the block so I won't need another toggle switch.
For the new switch my long, spliced three-conductor cable was actually a bit too long and I hacked off about 2'. I then attached a 3-conductor junction block under the hole drilled to carry the new switch's Z-1000 switch motor wires. These are Euro-style connectors and I use compression ferrules on the wire ends. They're a neat way to terminate wires with good reliability. I have a professional crimper for these. It wasn't cheap, but I've probably completed 1,000 terminations with it. You can get all this from Ferrules Direct.com
I also have another tool that's terrific for under-platform wiring. It's an Arrow model T2025 staple gun with the semi-circular anvil and drives a curved-top staple that is perfect for clinching wires.
After running all the leads I tried the switch and it worked. The first pic is the new switch controller powered up. It's the AA switch. I'll have to put on a prettier graphic to match it to the rest of the panel. That's the trouble with clear panels with the graphics on the back. Very hard to modify. The second is the new switch with the LED indicating the divergent path. The switch is not fastened down, not painted and was removed for painting after the test was completed.
My older Z-1000 Ross switch machines didn't have the pigtails pre-fastened to the little internal circuit boards. They had set screws that pressed the wires down onto a solder pad on the circuit board. Getting the wire to seat just right was a challenge and they did let go periodically. Now the three wires are soldered to this board and are long enough to splice into the system wire. I run all field connections to junction blocks so pieces can be removed, fixed, etc., without cutting wires. The field wire has the 14 VAC feed and the panel switch has the ground. I have all of this occurring in the control panel. The ground line goes to a ground bus, and the 14 V (red) lead ties into a 14 VAC bus on the panel contact plane. I then run the 3-conductor leads to each switch in the field. The red wire splices to the red wire from the switch machine.
