My solution would be to use either Tortoise switch motors with the position contacts or Fastrack that has position sensing.
All I have is Atlas Switches on my layout. So I see if I can figure something out.
Like I said it may add more complexity than wanted right know. Which is way I said all the other features looked like I could use them.. Depending on how they would be implemented.
For Atlas switches, you can either use the Atlas under-the-table switch machine (which has contacts for indicating switch position) or the Atlas snap switch relay with the above-table switch machine to indicate switch position. That's how the Custom Signals boards handled it with Atlas switches.
