Fantastic ideas and exactly how i would build mine if i had the time, I love the idea of full automation especially when done right like this

My cousin used to use insulated rails and a photocell in order to achieve automation for his layout years back. He was able to run 2 trains on the same main line without a hiccup. I always enjoy seeing these older layouts because guys like him would have been blown away with what is offered today. But I’ll forever stay a conventional operator myself….. even if occasionally there might be a Gomez Addams incident.

Really you blow up your trains? 😂😂

I really appreciate this man's efforts. An electro-mechanical brain with 100 relays??? A heck of lot of work with very satisfying results. My Ross x-crossover with 6 relays to steer current for block operation was enough for me! He's got a real treasure. Was this recorded in the 90's ? 😊

He's 100% right. It is all about running the trains

There was an episode of Ellory Queen about a guy who had an automated train 🚂🚆 layout.

Ironically, I run Super O and my switches perform were well.

Club sized layout should be run by a group of model railroaders. You need all the electronics so you can operate it by yourself. Takes the comradery out of running trains with your friends.
