Block System for new layout

Hello members, 

Just joined the organization and hoping to get some guidance for block system recommendations for Lionel postwar set up.  During the early 90s, I started using the Right of Way Industries (Row) solution that features a 3PDT system.  I really liked the prototypical aspect, particularly the 3 zone; (full sp, slow and stop zones), however the firm has gone under.

Is it worth resurrecting this system, or are there newer and better solutions with the same or similar effect?  If the RoW solution is not recommended please give rationale.  However, I am fully open to suggestion. 

Using Gargraves/Ross hardware, 6x12' layout dual track outer loop (same direction) and inside loop (opposite direction) that connects to the outer and inner loops, thus serves as a reversing feature.  I would like to operate multiple trains, based on planned block length, 3-4 simultaneously.

Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

Ray
