According to me it can be done with Playmobil signal 4397 and a TRIX switch.
Can somebody e-mail me a complete manual from that signal?

I have one somewhere I can send you.

Now the isolators have arrived, I can see more clearly how they work, both from the 4373 instructions and your diagram.

I think, for LGB signals you need a isolated track and an electrical switch (not manual).

Look HERE [KLICK!] is perhaps what you want (if you mean LGB signals, not Playmobil signals).

That's correct.  Recently a number of the semaphore signals, boxed and with the isolated track sections have sold on eBay for only £39.99 - just one bid!

I've found the manual but it doesn't show anything about the wiring, other than the battery holder.  I've taken one of the signals apart and will photograph the electrical parts tomorrow and post them for you.

A cheaper alternative with Märklin 7274 (blue, round buttons) / 70749 (blue, square buttons) / 72740 (white, square buttons).



WATCH OUT: MÄRKLIN 7274 / 70749 / 72740 CAN ONLY BE USED INDOORS !

@ playmofire: I hoped Playmobil 4397 was powered by the transformer. That makes things a little complicated.

No, it's powered by two AA batteries.  I do know that people have converted them to transformer power.
