Wiring Dapol Signals

[The Fatadder]

Has anyone wired a Dapol signal to be driven by an on - on switch?

 

I have my signal powered by a low voltage DC power supply, but I would like to control it using the on / on switch intergrated in the tortoise motor (and for the moment with a spare on on switch until I extend the layout.)

 

I know the instructions say to use a push to make switch, however this will not work in terms of my intended interlocking

You could use an on / on switch, but you would have to have a relay in the line to the signal to give it the pulse of power it needs, while supplying continuous power for whatever other applications you want attached to it (the switch, that is).
