    Have a question, Any One Use "Photocell" sensor's for train location?

    Have a question, Any One Use "Photocell" sensor's for train location?

    Was thinking about ways to shut off a track for a crossing.....based on the location of the OTHER train coming to the crossing. So something like a gate opener or position sensor to detect a train coming to a crossing and effectively either shutting power off to the adjacent track or adding...

    Still plays with trains at 73

    A skill set that is ageless. With just a few year shy of your time here on earth, I've kind of rediscovered the Rail Road Hobby. More revisiting my youth with Lionel from the 1950's/60's. My Son and grand kids have engaged and hopefully will enjoy this as I have. Hoping you find folks in your...

    How about 0-27 Layouts? A Snow Day & Work In Progress Or " ALCO's Anonymous "

    Snow put a stop to logging operations so had to be in the house.... started by watching my favorite train YouTube channel. Then thinking about now being able to just "put another log in the fire". ONE of those videos from my "favorite train channel" inspired this :)
