Homemade block detection for signals
Posted by Marc_Magnus on Tuesday, July 29, 2014 3:27 PM

Since my mainline is nearly complete and running, I need signals but also block detector occupancy for actuating signals.

Severals block detector are offered but are quiet expensive especialy if you need some.

Did anyone have a plan of a homemade block  Thanks a lot.
