Anybody use this combination? I can't find much info on the web about using their Block Occupany Detectors, and whether they're compatible with the constant voltage of DCC on the tracks. I know back in 2001 when I first started looking into Circuitrons electronic detection units, they used photocells to detect when a piece of rolling stock or train was in the block, but I came across something that mentioned using variances in track voltage to detect when a train was present. Anybody use their signal drivers and block occupancy detectors? Looked like it might be a slightly cheaper way to run a signal system than the DCC managed systems I've seen.
