Finally getting started, need help on one issue with Atlas snap switches. Trying to add LEDs for my control panel. Using 2 pin bi color and latching relay connected to momentary toggle switch. Problem, can’t get reverse polarity to change red to green, green to red according to switch route. Is this possible? Tried following diagram from old post, switch works, LEDs stay lite but will not reverse colors.

not clear that a DR25E01 is a latching relay that has separate coils to either set or reset it.
it’s described as a self-latching relay using a bi-stable circuit to toggle the relay state. see “How to Use”
Welcome to the forum, ScottC. I hope you can find the answer.
Do you know the correct latching relay used to accomplish what i am trying to do. Thanks
Scottc
i think these 12V dual coil relays will work, assuming your driving your switch motor with 12V
the relay coils should be wired in parallel with the turnout coils.
the LEDs wired between the NO/NC (normally open/closed) contacts of the relay and the + supply. A single series resistor can be wired between the common of the relay and supply ground.

Thanks, I’m a big Saints fan, raised in the Parish (St. Bernard) and lived there for 44 years before moving to Georgia for work.

I lived in Mid-City New Orleans and then the Lakefront before leaving for the Great Plains. Good to have you onboard the forum.
Greg, could you help on wiring? I can get snap switch ok but monetary switch to relay and LEDs. Pins 2+ to 15- NC, Pins 1+ to 16- NO, Pin 5 and Pin 8 shows __________

Appreciate any help as i am clueless on relay.
Thanks
Thanks for the diagram, purchased correct relays and will give it a try.
