Any idea where to get a relay  SPST  to connect from Fast Tracks to the older accessories like the 153 block signal? I have downloaded the schematic fron another member, thank you, Ken

You guys are great,

I have another solution i will be working on  for the next mont ( i may be slow but i get by) . Since the tracks are DC and the accessories are AC, we will be experencing with connecting a DP DT relay to one of lionels newest  0-6-1411 IR unit. Possibly block for two train single line runs.

Right now this is the newest way as far as i know relay to block signal. I have not tried it but whoever wrote that diagram is brillant.:. http://www.toytrainrevue.com/ 

 A guy out here has used this system and and he says it works.

But, we will be using the new IR unit in addition to the relay described above. Should be interesting.

Thanks again for the support, Ken
