I cannot find Any description on How to connect this two switches ( took a photo of them)
I am using playmobil 4375 as a transformator I think it should work properly with both items
Many thanks for your help

I believe you have to connect a separate supply for the lamp to light up. There is a terminal block for the 2 wires on the base.

I think from what you have written in your very good English, that you have the magnetic part working, which moves a red and green filter in front of the lamp.

In some respects, the colour light signal works in the same way as the semaphore, using a mechanical-magnetic action to move the filter instead of a semaphore arm....

Anyone know how to wire one of these signals? Having problems even though control box is responding okay. Despite their contention that it is easy to wire I must be missing something!

If you read the link in my post #3, you will find the information as to where to fit the diodes.

You might not need them if you have the magnetic solenoid working as it seems you are using a DC power supply....

The LGB RhB colour light signal aspects are controlled by a reed switch in the base of the signal column. The EPL "motor" moves a magnet on the top of the "motor" assembly and the position of that magnet in respect of the reed switch which determines whether a red or green aspect is displayed.
