The circuit will remain in whatever state you leave it until you press the button a second time. You will have to add a "power start" circuit if you want it to start in a certain state. Otherwise a J-K Flip Flop is stable until you change an input.
. I am also trying to do a similar idea that I can not figure out. I would like to install indicator light on my kato turnouts. I would like the green light on the track that’s open and a red light on the one that is not. They are a signal coil that only uses momentary power to move the turnout. Reversing polarity moves it back. Can this be done some how ? They are twined together so I am using 18 volts dc with a dual button board.

See my reply on your thread about model railroad turnout indicators..
