Signal Lights?
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, March 24, 2006 4:43 PM
Hey

I was looking at putting signals lights on my Ho layout. I have DCC and was thinking about having OCS system similar to what CP has. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to look at for products, and if there is any literature on this subject avaliable.

Thanks

I'm unfamiliar with 'OCS' and 'CP' so cannot comment - but most current systems require blocked-off sections', and work with DC and DCC.

Some use IR others use Current for Occupancy detection..
