I recently read in a book that 's a bit dated 1978 about a product called Tru Scale ATC (Automatic Tru Train Control) . Basically if 2 trains are on the same track and one is about to overtake the other that a red signal light will be activated and the faster train will will stop until the other one is far enough ahead to avoid the rear end collison. Once far enough ahead the signal turns to green and the trailing train starts back up. It's accomplished by relay control units. Does anyone have experience with this ? How does it actually work ? What do you need to do besides install the signal ? Is there a similar or updated product on the market that performs the same function ? Interesting product for those of us without DCC or who do not want complete control all the time. Thanks in advance for your reply.
