You favorite way to switch points with DCC

Hi All

The more I read up on this , The more I am convinced.

Duel DCC and Manual control
Mimic Panel with LEDs to indicate point direction(Like Trevor's)
Momentary Contact toggle switches
- for the electro magnet points MasterSwitch (with built in Decoder) will be available before I get that far
-- For the Slow motion points SmartSwitch motor with built in decoder

Regards Zmil

And I was hoping someone else wood take the plunge
and do a writeup

The website has some video footage of the motor in action under DCC control on a mid setting of 4
out of a possible 9 settings

looks very convincing at that speed

Having used the Search option and found this old topic I'm not sure I yet understand how to show route settings.

My layout is Fleischmann Piccolo DCC but I prefer non-DCC operation of the points so I can better see what's going on. I've installed a few point motors using miniature toggle switches from Gaugemaster to operate them, however once switched I then need to look at each point to remember which route is set.

I've seen several references to LEDs being installed to indicate the route but as the toggle switch is of the passing contact type (I think that's the technical term) how is current then held in order to operate the LED, can anyone help?

I'm aware there are various switches that don't self-centre after use leaving the lever to indicate the route e.g. Hornby R044 but the LED system appeals.
