Model train signal test

[epareja2]

Hello Mike!!! Nice Job. I want to ask you the same of shazam75. Do you have any circuit schematics of train detection and light control? thanks

[lordmattis94]

Lionel is AC and scale 1:87 (HO) right? So that means you can drive Marklin AC HO trains on it?

[popiBROS1]

wow man

you got to put up a how to video...

i really wanna know how to do this

[Spitfire995]

just a simple question, u place each signal next to joint and when the train passes over it, it short circuits the joint detecting the train?

[WILDSIGNSIGNALMAN]

how do you wire it up on facttrack??

[mikeexplorer]

I will send you a PM

[robertgift]

Nice

Red bulbs belong on the bottom.

I changed mine.

[mikeexplorer]

This was the aspect the signals came with.

[robertgift]

Yes.

Lionel was incorrect.

So I changed mine.

The green bulb's wire is slightly bigger gauge than the red bulb's wire, because the green is on most of the time.

So I probably also switched the wires.

[shazam75]

may I ask how you did this electronically? Do you use reed switches or photo cells?

Do you have a schematic ?

Thanks!

Nice job. I've only done an automated signal line. were you have only one line with signals along it which you don't have to change yourself.

[pjmilazzo]

Nice job on the signal controls.
