If you're satisfied with your original circuit, other than the fact that it doesn't latch, add a PNP transistor to make it latch.Thank you for this this is flawless no doubt but i would appreciate if you can create a circuit with same effects using common transistors.
A discrete SCR has some disadvantages (e.g. base emitter junctions not sized to conduct large currents), but there are some advantages (e.g. base terminals can be used to turn the SCR off). In this configuration, the device is more appropriately called a silicon controlled switch, sensitive gate switch, or sensitive gate SCR.
The current shown in the simulation isn't an issue for 2N2222/2N2907.
