if you understand transistors & Diodes you could build an indicator from LED’s powered by the switch used to activate the machine. N or R or red or green indicator lights. using transistors will allow the lights to remain lit in the direction of the turnout setting.
just like a block detector for signals. you may be able to use a block detector circuit to do this task with minium alteration.
