Basic Colour Light Signal set up

[Rob]

Hi.

As a complete electrics novice, l hope someone can help!

I'm looking to set up from scratch, a set of 8 Colour Light Signals on my layout (4 × Three Aspect Colour Lights & 4 × Ground Position).       All supplied by CR Signals- seem to closest resemble lrish Rail ones.

I have a Hornby Select DCC but am happy to manually switch the lights as required at this point.

Trouble is l am a complete novice on the electrics side & can't seem to actually identify what exactly l will need to start up.

I guess:

4 Changeover SPDT switches for each of the Ground Position.

4 Three Position Rotary switches.

(If so any suggestions, on each?)

 

I read if l was working one signal, l would need a 5 - 12v DC supply-   if l am running 8 signals, do l need 8 of these?

Ideally is there one overall controller that could handle these 8 signals but if not, if l was running them individually, what is best?

Hope l get some help here and bear in mind, l am a novice on the electrics so would love to know what l actually physically need to have!

Thanks in advance.

Rob.

PS l did try to locate similar answers here before posting but couldn't find the specifics.

Hi Rob.

I use Train tech running and shunt signals on Tara junction

I find them very easy to set up and use with my DCC system, I am like yourself a novice with the electrics, but the Train tech signals work for me.
