I have my wiring set for one half of my signal block and have set it up for a test run. I seem to have run into a little issue though.... I am using a 12v dc SPDT coil style relay with a ac/dc rectifier bridge. I am running conventional controls on my layout. As you can see in the video the red light works fine through the schematic but since it only takes about 4-6 a/c volts to make the train move, when it gets to the block the voltage isn't high enough to trigger the relay. In order for the relay to switch I have to have 12 volts on the track which would make my engine go supersonic. Any ideas would be helpful!
