I must whole heartly agree with you Tim. Reed switches are used on LGB's trains to make the sound work in all types of weather. The magnets don't miss a beat and are such a simple concept. I wished the article had taken the concept just a little farther and explained in detail how to make a complete signal system for a mainline in two directions. This might entail an offsetting reed switches based upon direction. It has to be cheaper than infrared, doesn't it?
