Hello, I'm a new memeber here.

I have Märklin C-tracks layout. I currently have 15 turnouts, of which 2 are three-way turnouts (13 digital decoders 74462, 2 digital decoders 74466, 17 electromagnets 74491). Digital control is performed via MS2.
In addition to digital control of the turnouts, I would also like to have analog control via the 72710 control boards.
I would make a cheap variant by switching the digital/analog circuit for the 74491 electromagnets via micro switches (2-way switch), the digital decoders below the turnouts would not be disconnected from the power supply.
I have drawn a picture (with sets for 2 turnouts controlled digital or analog, I hope it is understandable) of how the implementation should look like. For one electromagnet, I would need 3 micro switches (1 yellow wire and 2 blue wires) for Variant 1.
Question for Variant 2: Can I connect all the yellow wire outputs from the 74491 digital decoders together? With this variant, only 2 micro switches (2 blue wires) would be needed for each electromagnet, and the yellow wire for all electromagnets would be switched via only one micro switch.

Thank you for your answers.
