Yes, well, the mane lion on this layout is EIGHT scale MILES. (Four each way) not including a four track mane lion on the Brighton, all of it to be signaled.LION thinks he will be looking at 200 signal heads before he is done building signal heads. For the moment, they are simply controlled by local 4P3T slide switches. I can set them up for a photo shoot, and they make the layout look like a subway layout, but they do not actually function. LION thinks he would need 100 mice to make 200 detectors. I can probably arrange them at an angle to each other across the track on a diagonal so that they will not be fooled by the gap between the cars. Still it will take a circuitary genius to plot how the heads might be wired. LIONS know about relays, but have never really worked with transistors. Of course home signals can be tied into the switch machines. ROAR |
