Kato unitrack switches and Brawa signals

This blog is for you the reader. It is your opportunity to share ideas and problems relating to model railroading.

Can one of our readers help with this model RR question from a fellow enthusiast:

“I need non technical instructions a simple minded person could understand about wiring track signals to Kato unitrack switches. I want to make my N gauge train layout operates like a real one. I have Brawa signals with five wires and Kato track uses on two wires. I am trying to use a push button control board and I have figured out how to use diodes to make the kato switches work, but have difficulty understanding the instructions of Brawa book on how to wire the signals, as brawa suggest using a track switch with three wires not two.”
