Hi All ,  I am building a totally  dcc layout using dynamis and ezitrack (with dcc turnouts),  would like to include automated block signals into it..
What is available ? Are there any block signals that can simply plug into the existing turnouts?
Your input and experience will be greatly appreciated.

if you are looking for black signals to operate like the real ones do, look at digitrax and their signal controllers.

good looking and easy to build signals are available from Oregon rail supply, in almost any style the real railroads used.

if all you want to do is use the signals to indicate switch position, use the non dcc switches, and wire an atlas snap relay in parallel with the switch motor. use the relay contacts to operate your signals.
