nothing's ever easy (to me!) it seems when it comes to electrical discussions. My AC relay is a DPDT one - I've only used it once about 15 years ago and haven't found a need for it since.
I'm like the bum in Polar Express: So many questions! Like a very basic one: every scenario that my non-electrical brain can think of has part of the train on the insulated rail making the light red but AT THE SAME TIME the rest of the train is not. So isn't that a conflict? The relay would be told to be normally open and closed at the same time, right?
I actually have other questions but am somewhat embarrassed to ask questions all of the time. Not to mention wasting people's time with MY issue.
I'm just going to try the accuator and if it doesn't work I'll come back and examine the edited diagrams to see how they translate to actual physical pieces.
I appreciate all of the contributors, and as always, thanks - walt
