Jim - You are hereby officially certified as a Wizard Extraordinaire. Thanks. Will share with model RR friends here.

If the sensor is triggered by the engine, what happens when the engine exits the block but the balance of the train is still in the block?

Does this work the same as the Merg Current sensor... that is can I take the output and feed to an Arduino as a 5V Yes/No sensor? Also I searched your website and didn't see this item. Thanks

Can you run feeder wires from multiple tracks through the current loop transformer? For example if you wish to trigger crossing gates at a 2 (or more) rail line crossing, for a train approaching on any of the tracks, can the block current detector be used this way (assuming, of course, that each the tracks has an isolated block around the crossing).

A very interesting product you have developed. However, it would have been nice to see it working close-up. As is, I can barely see the light that you said comes on when the block is occupied.

Type "LIONEL" into the search box in the STORE.

Do you have a direct link to the renovation kit and o-scale detection unit? I am having trouble finding them on your website. Thanks!

What a great layout.

How thick is the brass strip?

Nice sensors. What I did for block detection was to embed a 3mm IR photodiode under the trackbed. Then I use IR lighting from above the layout. When the train or rolling stock rolls over the sensors, it blocks the IR light thus triggering the sensor.

What manufacturer is the green Southern Caboose? I don't think I've ever seen that one.

obviously, this is supposed to control things, but you did not show any of that.. hopefully, a future video will show what can be done with these devices. also, have you thought about using rj45 plugs to have these communicate with other devices. With rj45 you could use POE to power the devices eliminating the need for an external power source for each device ..

Very informative and interesting. My question is, can sounds be activated by push-button method without the use of a toggle switch?

Did I miss it? Was the light strip attached to the roof?

When i made mine i used Intermountain trucks they pickup from both sides so you end up with all wheel pickup.

Excellent layout Sir. Quite a nice scene at night. Thank you!

Really nice Jim

Excellent work 👌 sir Which Led module in coach? Lights are very sturdy...Nice effect

In DCC mode, would the yellow aspect work in a 3 color dwarf signal?

Can you turn off the motion sensing and just use it as a regular DCC board?

I’m sure these signals are not going to make these guys rich, so it’s nice to see a company that enjoys the hobby as much as their customers do. Thanks for these.

Ordered mine on Saturday. So excited.

Post to UK and tax more than price item

Heyyoo!! I am so happy with my DC light boards!! The lighting looks better than I ever could have imagined!! Thanks so much for everything... if anyone reading this is on the fence about upgrading to LED light boards from Model Train Technology, just know that it is well worth the money and the lights look and work sooo much better than the Kato lighting kits.

Seems like this is simple enough for even me

I would be interested in shorter HO versions, something to fit in 34' or longer Athearn old-time cars or pre-Proto Life-Like cars. Keep up the great work, guys!

so cool

That Seems Pretty Easy To Install. I Assume This Comes With The Signal Decters In The Kits HO/N Also I Am Guessing You Can Daisy Chain Two Across From Each Other?

Ahhh! Just what I was talking about can not wait! Awesome!!

I've BEEN looking for HO scale light boards for a while now. I hope they are made available!. I mostly model 80' heavyweights, but also have the shorter 58' to 60' types. As well...a light board for cabeese would be great too! (Unless the caboose types are still available??. )

Do you make a watch battery adapter for the dcc or dc adapter boards? And are there discounts for 9 cars sets? Always liked your stuff and I am looking to convert. Thank you for making them. Also can one use them in larger scales like O or even G?

Awesome,,,,wish you guys would make those for H O trains in dc

Thiss is cool. How much and how do I order these?

Very slick! Nice job!

Hey 👋 I just sub’d. Are you in Orlando?

Dear MTT, cool system! Just wondering about the, let’s say, ‘necessary gap’ to avoid the train overlap? Otherwise said, like you showed when the caboose on the straight route is standing in front of the sensor, the sensor of the diverging route doesn’t flip the switch. Would it be necessary to indeed have an insulated block in front of the sensor to prevent such interaction between the two routes. Further, this kind of sensoring really looks promising, especially to integrate blocks and routes as a true model of automatic train control. Cheerio

I like it, Thank you for sharing. I could have used this in my last project.

I assume these are not usable on a DC layout?

These work with sensors?

I Have Question How did you take off the walls of the caboose and bottom apart of the caboose because I have same caboose in n scale but I can't get it to separate and I"m afraid I'm break it?

Do you have an opinion to temporarily override the automatic function?

Excellent, very interesting and innovative. 👍

O scale would benefit from this and the chips would be bigger, not needing a magnifying lens

This is so cool. I think you got a winner with these. I've always thought you got it right but this is even better. Just wondering it this once programed could run off batteries. And maybe used in G scale any time soon...🎉

This looks fantastic!! I may have to get a few of these once I put together a passenger car set!

Great video, Jim, and delighted to see the upgrades to the N-scale LED board products. A couple of questions: first, for the dual row board, is there a CV setting that selectively turns off one row - as for the “bedroom side” of a 4-4-6 sleeper - while leaving the other row on to light the passageway? Second, some Kato observation cars (20th Century Limited, California Zephyr, Olympian Hiawatha, for example) have some built-in lighting structures at the back that prevent installation of either the 144mm or 124mm products (too long, won’t fit). Is the 106mm product intended to be used in those types of cars, or should the even shorter N-scale caboose board be used? Looking forward to trying these out soon.

I love the touch of whimsy. Train sounds added to the crossing bell -- nice touch! Sounds like something I would do. I'm also a Jim, the J in JP.

Nice!! Need to check these out!!

Wow! Thanks! Great idea!
