Did I get that right?
Hooray, I think you have. :cool:
Sometimes I forget that a schematic that, to me, seems to show a simple relation to the hardware, does not for someone not so familiar with electronics.

Trust it will all work as planned when you wire it up in this configuration.

Of course.

Had to draw it out before I started on the rewiring. When I have time I'll do it on the computer. In lieu of resistors I use CL2N3's for the LED's.

Works fine. I used blue and white wire to distinguish between the NC and NO connections. I'll be adding the appropriate color paint on the terminal block to aid connecting the wires to the correct terminal. For some reason the Direct LED seems dimmer than the others and is dimmer than it was before. Not concerned about that as it's functional. Once the paint dries I'll put it back in the model.

Thank you crutschow for you expertise, guidance and patience.

I'll post a picture of the model boat this is being used in.

Should I post this in the Off Topic forum here? Have more pictures to share.

I am building a few of the party boats out of Belmar Marina NJ. I already completed a model larger than the one I am working on now, the SS Miss Belmar. The subject of this post that crutschow helped me with is going in the model below, the Big Marie S. This model is a work in progress.

Some background. The original boat is 85 feet with a 20 foot beam. The BMS was in the Belmar Marina for quite some time and ventured out of Shark River for fishing trips. It was going into Manasquan Inlet NJ, reason unknown, and I believe something happened to one of the rudders, which in turn caused leaks, flooding the hull and she was beached, unrepairable and was wrecked in place. I do not have plans of this boat. Only a series of pictures. From these pictures I developed a set of plans with hull lines and frames. The model is 42.5 inches long and 10 inches wide. The scale is 1/2" to the foot, or 1/24th scale. All of the party models I will be building are this scale. A 6 foot person would be 3 inches on the model.

I'm in touch with a few people that have provided additional photos of this and other party boats. This model and future models will all have plans developed from whatever pictures I can get hold of. This picture I'm taking a wild guess may be around 1980.

This is the model as it is as of today. 100% scratch built. The deck is individually planked. The railings are brass tubing drilled, pinned and soldered, then painted. The hull is basswood over plywood frame, coated with epoxy resin and cloth.

If there is any interest I can post closer up photos of more detail. The model is radio controlled with two brushed motors and two rudders. Full lighting will eventually be done when I get to that point. Lot's of LED's.
