Subject: Re: [jmriusers] Tortoise wiring I would add if you can locate spring loaded dpdt switch, the local crew can hold the switch in the "Hand" position while they operate the toggle for the switch motor. When they are done, releasing the spring loaded switch will return the control to JMRI automatically. Dispatcher then has control again without relying on the crew to return control. Cheers!

Subject: RE: [jmriusers] Tortoise wiring Put a second DPDT toggle in. The 2 center pins to the switch motor. Top pair to JMRI connection. Bottom pair to local control toggle. Label above selector as follows: Above "HAND" Below "POWER". Now the DS can give your crews permission to take switch on hand! Just remember to remind them that they need to tell the DS when they are returning control of the switch back to him!!! It DOES tend to annoy dispatchers when they can't throw a controlled switch and the local crew is now several miles on down the line and there's mobody around to restore the switch to the power position! <G> Jim Duncan -----Original Message----- From: jmriusers@...

Subject: [jmriusers] Tortoise wiring I have my tortoise machines wired to dpdt switches on the facia. a common installation. I now want to wire the to RR-Cirkits Signalman boards for use through JMRI panel pro. Can anyone tell me how I would wire the so as to still retain control on the facia when I am not using JMRI.
