Stan2004: Thanks very much for the reply. Yes, it was hard to describe my last question, but essentially I was trying ask whether the relay & wiring pattern repeats, if I want to hook up sequential adjoining blocks all with multiple light LED signals......
As you put it: "multiple LED signal heads on consecutive adjoining blocks, then you can use the "unused" DPDT contacts of 3PDT Relay3 to become the "used" DPDT contacts of Relay2 for the next signal head. " I think this sentence gets to the heart of what I am asking, but now I am a "little confused".... Let me go do some searching the jcstudiosinc for Dale's other posts about 3PDT....
I was thinking for each block , I would need to install one (1) - 3PDT relay, and one LED signal with 3 or more LED lights (see below, for why I say "3 or more LED lights"
I am not looking to control track power in blocks, I am interested in using spare relay contacts if any are available to control other lights on the signals.... I purchased some NJI, B & O style, CPL all of which have more 3 lights, some have the "lunar blue" completing the circle on the round face, others have from 1 to 3 markers on crossbars above and/or below the main CPL target....
So, as I am doing research on what different signal aspects were communicated by the additional lights, I would like to come up with at least a believable resemblance control scheme for controlling the additional lamps....
In some locations this won't be any more challenging than having the Markers on all the time, or tied in parallel to one of the 3 colors R, Y , G...
By early next week, I'll have the signals and relays with 11 pin bases in hand, so I was thinking about setting up a test board with 4 blocks or 14.5 inch track each, 4 relays and for signals and doing some bench testing to see what works...
