Block Detection

.......lets see.... You could put two VERY thin pieces of wire up through the track so they are almost touching eachother and just brushing the axels... when they touch, you would make a light flicker. Course you will really need to tune it so it does not knock the cars off the track.


Cheap enough?

seanm, thanks


How cheap? I don't understand the question: Cheap means cheap, el cheapo, scrooges, $0.01 etc...

So unless you spend thounsands of dollars, you cannot have a functional block detection?

I don't believe this at all

I found the link. He makes them per order. He's a Ham Radio Operator too that I have talked with him on the air. They are very simple to use. You can use them with Sunrise and NJ Internation signals. Others too. If you use lamps instead of LED's, you need to install a relay. Very, very, very simple to use. They are small enought to use on Nscale too.
