See map: Google Maps I have Atlas Turnouts and would like to use momentary ( on ) off ( on ) DPDT toggles to throw them does anyone have a schematic to set this up. the Atlas switches have three wires Black Red and Green. I am not sure where to wire it on the toggles. Any help would be appreciated Merry Christmas

You only need a SPDT, so if
You only need a SPDT, so if you have a DPDT, only use one side. The red wire goes to one outside terminal and the green wire goes to the other outside terminal. The black wire goes to one connection on the power supply. Then you run a wire from the other connection on the power supply to the center terminal of the toggle.
