Has anybody tried the new Z Stuff Signals?

Do you just hook up power and set them by the track ? Would make my life simplier if they do. [8D]

I think I will try the 1050. Anybody have one ??

The only ones I have are the little ground-level block signals. They are very simple to set up, but the train has to be passing it to activate it. A regular IR unit, like Lionel, can be placed to activate the signal PRIOR to the train reaching it. Although my Z signals have a "sensitivity" control, there is no "delay" control. I don't know if the other Z products work the same as mine. Joe

I was wondering about that. When Kent did that episode of "Workin on the RR", the gate would go down as the train was passing. A bit late, kinda like saying "that thing that hit you, that was a train". Anyway, if they can be adjusted, I would be interested as I have several areas that will need signals.

I like those semaphore signals but doesnt Lionel or MTH make an operating semaphore signal?

You can move the actuating point of the switches farther away from the crossing to get them down before the train comes. I can't remember if you can change the speed.
