I'm pretty confident that a simple solution to the LED problem is possible, but since I haven't actually wired one up and tinkered with it yet, I don't have a solution in-hand. However, I am planning on having a panel with indicator lights, so I will be solving this puzzle at some point.
This topic kind of hit home. I have about 16 switches using DZ-2500 machines. When I asked Dennis Zanders about it, I was told it was normal and you relly can't do anything about it. Well I see here that this may be addressed and a possible solution at hand. I am anxious to see the findings.
FWIW, I just live with it. It is kind of annoying when you explain the led's to guest visiting the layout.
I use the green and yellow for anti-derail. Can't live without that feature.
The yellow and green anti-derail lines can be used for the rail triggers and a momentary lever switch at the same time. The switch just mimics the anti-derail action of a wheel pulling the rail to common voltage. This would be my preferred home grown switch if not using the supplied DZ-2500 switch.
