O Electrical Wiring

Ronnie is new to the hobby and needs some experienced guidance:
“As I understand it, 027 turn out switches have 3 wires and the trun-out derives power directly from the track – is that correct? How can I wire indicator lights on my panel to indicate Turn or Straight? I have a KW transformer and wonder if I can wire them directly from the 14V post? I need the simplest solution as this is my first layout. Thank you.”

If you would like to give Ronnie some advice, then please use the comments link below. I’m sure he would appreciate it.
