Still, I'll probably have to mark the magnet locations with some railroad junk, maybe an old pallet, or a couple of old ties, a crushed 55 gallon drum, etc. There are around 2 dozen e-mags around the layout.
HI Gary,
I too may learn something eventually..! I do know that my uncle, a career electrician, would be proud of your install!
Not knowing much about this myself, could the push button illuminate a micro LED that is on the ground next to the magnet location? It would be almost invisible when off, but they can be very bright when lit to show the centre of the magent (for example).
