<P>Yes i thought all this and i wasn't interested, too much action for too little result, howver LGB and Bitswitch do have a track detection module to be used in conjunction with your display module. You do have to block wire your layout but only one wire per sector and i can do it pretty easily on my layout. Also each module will only do four sectors, i think they are about US60 - 80 each The track detection module is a big help if you wish to automate various switches on your layout;as well. I think they only need about 150 ma of currect to detect a a presence. </P> <P>I only need four sectors if i wish to convert my Area two and the reversing loops in Areas 1 and 3 but if i wish to incorporate my loop in Area 3 i will need another 4 sectors to be converted and again i can do it pretty easily as far as wiring is cincerned. Howver i am about to put in an "El" that will connect area 3 up with the reversing loop in area 1 and if i do that i will need more modules again;only one of each probably. </P> <P>So it is not all that costly nor will it be hard to do from a wiring point of view but i think i might need a younger brain to work the rest out?</P> <P> </P> <P>rgds Ian </P>
