Hi all
I have just laid the track on my small z gauge layout. I want to control the 13 points(switches) and 11 semaphore signals using Marklin control boxes.
So far, so good.
Can I wire a set of points and the relevant signal from one terminal on the control box (72730) or do I have to have 2 separate switches?
Thanks

Both would only require momentary power.

The only issue I see is that when the train leaves, is that the signal needs to return to stop position for the following train. So you need to do this manually with momentary switch the other way, or use a 8589 Straight Contract Track (can unthread rail & thread to 660mm rail for continuous rail if you want)

But the "stop position" momentary switch is effectively different wiring to "go position".

The above mentioned book is great, I have one, but I feel the easiest (how I approach wiring) way to get one's head around the wiring is to simply wire up in a very temporary way to make sure points & signals do what you want.

Just make sure power is momentary or you will cook the point & signal.

If signals are lights, then a momentary switch then can switch a latching relay for both stop & go lights.
