Ok. I have a Lionel #452 Double Signal Bridge. I have (2) separate tracks running conventional. I am using (2) separate controllers and power packs Z1000's.

I have (2) separate accessory activator packs #6-12029 Fastrack.

Ok..Ok
The Double Bridge is located at a spot where both sets of tracks come close enough to use this over the both of them. I want them to run separately as each train comes to that curve.

I can not seem to get it wired so that the RED light stays on and the GREEN Light lites up and the Red lite goes out etc..etc..

I can only get one light lit at a time.

According to the wiring instructions that came with the Double Signal Bridge I can either use a IR Remote for $75.00 extra or use the 153C Contactor. Now the 153C will not allow me to use this with Fastrack. I don't mind buying the IR Remote but will it control both separate tracks ?

DIAGRAM PLEASE FOR AN AMATUER.

Thank You in advance.

Dale..Thank you for that link. It puts me in the correct direction at least.

I printed out your directions but I still don't see the (3) pins on the Double Signal anywhere in the printouts. I am so confused.

I will go and purchase the relays today and maybe that will give me some more prospective on the diagram.

I just don't understand this type of wiring.

AMATUER 100%

 

 

We have the MTH Pennsylvania double headed double signal bridge, also mth cantilevered double sided signal bridge.  I cut the rails to signal train traffic.  I used Scott's odds and ends relays, I believe they are the MTR-12, I can check if that helps.  We have about 16 signals (all MTH) and the relays have always worked great with these easy to wire relays.  I'll put some photos of the double headed Signal bridge and some of the relays.  Im pretty sure on the Scott's odds and ends website there is even directions on how to wire.

 

 

 

litegide24,

I want to come and take a nap under your layout.

When I wake up I want to be under my layout.

That is truly a fantastic "Very Neat" wiring setup.

I keep thinking, my setup is so small, but holy cow things are growing fast underneath the train set.

OK, so I see the relays but it looks like you have jumpers going from one to the other all the way down the board.

I am going to look at these Scott Relays you refer on here.

I'll be back !!
