This was my main event for today (picture in Dutch). I'm looking into different pieces of electronics that I will need for my model railroad. This particular piece is a block occupancy detector. It will send a signal to a computer or other controlling device to let it know the stretch of rail it's attached to is occupied by a train. That way you can prevent another train from entering that block (also called 'section').I have ordered parts for this at an Australian online electronics shop. Let's hope it works. For my test track I need about 14 or 16. For the coffee table track that I will eventually build I will probably need 5 times more....
PS: I didn't design this myself but I do try and understand how it works, which I do now.
