I noticed you had a similar post earlier that "disappeared" before I replied above, and was wondering if you really meant to write SPST [ = either 'on' or 'off' ] -- or if you use two SPST's per turnout ???  I do the same as far as control position = turnout position [ well, usually, and with 'known exceptions' such as dual controlled turnouts ] -- but they are SPDT, or DPDT where power routing is also accomplished.
