Momentary Switches for DS64

I was planning on installing a few DS64s to give me JMRI control of my turnouts. I also wanted to add a control panel for the switches machines using the DS64 Inputs.

I read you'll need SPST switches so i assume thesse will work for me

I don't know which the DS64 prefers or requires but note that the link you gave is for a Normally Cosed switch.  So it conducts until you push it, then it breaks the contact.  You may want the Normally Open which works opposite to that.  Just a heads up in case.
