Thank you for posting this topic icmr. I am the "wonderful friend". lol Ok, what I am wanting to do is have a signal system on my layout that is very similar to the NS signal system here on the Illinois Division. Here, we have Automatic Block Signals. We do not have CTC signals. The turnouts have a switch indicator light that shows whether or not the turnout has been manually locked for the main or siding. The siding has a triple color light that tells a train on the siding whether or not it can enter the main. Plus, there are two triple light signals on a tall pole that tell the train whether or not the main is clear ahead. What I am wanting to know is: IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THIS TYPE OF AUTOMATIC SIGNAL SYSTEM USING NO COMPUTER AND NO DCC SYSTEM? I WOULD WANT TO BUILD THIS USING MY OWN CIRCUIT BOARDS THAT I BUILD. This is a summarized list of everything that I have that I might use: MRC TECH 4 220 POWER PAC, NJ INTERNATIONAL SIGNALS, WIRES, CIRCUIT BOARDS AND CIRCUITS SOLDERED ON TOP, DETECTORS. So, first of all would this work, YES OR NO and try to explain how I would go about building this. <br />Thanks.
