[quote user="crusader27529"]Weigh that 'minor' issue compared with having to modify rolling stock to be detectable.[/quote] [quote user="crusader27529"]The system supplies a logic low signal for occupied, plus some outputs for local, simplistic signaling for entry points into the block, including one turnout per block.[/quote] So based on turnouts alone, the layout Im speaking of would need over 100 blocks...  Adding a SMD to a wheelset for about $.09 per wheelset so equipped doesnt really sound like a problem to me.  The time spent is also not a problem.  Certainly less time spent than adding a significant number of paired block detectors for each turnout.   Are the blocks bi-directional, or do you need separate detectors for that?
