Do you use those yourself? <br />It does seem simple enough for my layout, since I am not planning <br />on using computer control. Just something to switch my signals. <br />The only thing I was wondering about Rob's detector is, that you have <br />to fling a certain amount of loops around the transformers, the tighter the better. <br />I wonder how accurate and reliable that is.
