Reply to "Wiring a signal light to Lionel FasTrack Remote Switch"

Leo is correct, this could be done with a fairly simple circuit, a low current 5V coil relay and a diode comes to mind.   For instance, I have some 5V coil relays that have a 10ma operating current, I'm guessing I could probably use the LED output directly to activate them, a diode would make them directional.  In the worst case, I'd have to add a transistor or FET driver to provide more current if the LED output isn't up to the task.

What would this circuit look like?  I am fairly familiar with components but don't have to the skills to figure how things would go together to work.  Could I tie the relays into the underside of the switch, connecting them to where the wires go in that are operated by the throw bar?  I would like to have it work where I throw one switch and both the turnout and the signals change.  I'm trying to find wiring diagrams but I'm not finding anything....
