Reply to "Lionel O Gauge Switches run with DC Wiring Question....."

This has been a very interesting thread but often got above my head.  Can you recommend an LED  solution for those of us who don't want  to "build" our own controller?  I am using O22 switches using a separate transformer for constant voltage.  For now I am planning to use original controllers which means three bulbs (1 clear, 1 red, 1 green) for each switch or about 15 watts per switch.  I found direct replacement LED bulbs for $2.00 each or $6.00 per switch plus shipping at Town and Country Hobbies.  Has someone found another less expensive solution?  With 15+ switches, the cost of LEDs vs. power required for incandesants needs to be evaluated.

In the original post, JUNIOR stated "I plan on controlling all my switches from the control panel by using SPDT (ON)-OFF-(ON) Momentary toggle switches and Red/Green LED indicator bulbs. I want to stay away from having to provide diodes for every LED."

What toggle switches and LED bulbs can be used with the AC adapter suggested above?  Source?   If this has been addressed in a separate discussion, can comeone provide a link?  Thanks
