I bought these.  They come with small micro switches that are easy to wire.  I liked the look and will take a lot of abuse being arcade buttons.  They also have lighted ones.

Do you plan to run your trains conventionally? TMCC/Legacy? DCS? Lionchief (+)/RC?

 

 

JD2035RR - Nice looking button. What I cannot find is the electrical specifications for the switch. I do not know the standards for arcade electronics. Is the voltage/amperage stamped on the bottom of the microswitch?  Do you know from any other source?

Asymair95 - It's an 1 1/8" hole that is needed. It won't hurt the strength as you won't be loading the weight to extremes. A wobbly 1" speed bore and your done. They are cool looking.

That's a rather large hole to put in a 1" x 3" furring strip, which is not the best grade of lumber to start with.  If he is going with these switches, he would be better served to use a 1 1/8" hole saw.  It will give him a nice clean hole, eliminating the tarot on the back side of the board.  

I found these on Evilbay.  The require a half inch hole. Here's the link.
