Reply to "L Rotary Coal Tipple- micro switch replacement"

I've ordered the micro switches to replace the bad one ( ordered 6 total .50 each) I the mean time, I've been trying to figure out the wiring to replace the switch. As mentioned earlier I de-soldered the red-green and blue wires from the end caps ( under the end gears) I had issues trying to remove the track were switches are located. The green and blue wires were free, but the red wire would not loosen up. The red wire did come free off the switches after cutting.  With a meter I found out that the red wire connected to the two switches ( nothing to do with the red wires I de-soldered) To me it seems like the the switches are in series and when the switches are depressed, the 2 blue wires are connected ( 0 ohms) Where the ends red wires connect ( ones I de-soldered) I'm not sure since they are under the plastic plate that the track screws down too. I know there is infinite resistance between them.  Without a wiring diagram its hard to figure out.  Any help would be appreciated. Also- with the micro switches are they held in by the outer track bottom lip? ( have to excuse my writing- never was good at it)
