Hi

 

See below my version of a Lionel 153C for carpet layout on steroids. This idea came from many different place from this forum.

This is for a 50 inch length operation track. You can run the following Flashing Crossing Gate (Flasher being built) MTH Crossing gate, Banjo, Gate man, Maiden Rescue, Semaphore and etc.

Correction the relay is from the following vendor. I like these from Automation Direct - I can't get the link to work correctly. From their main page go to - Relays / Timers > Electro-Mechanical Relays > Square / Cube Relays... > General Purpose, 15A (781, 782, 783, 784 series)

Or from the link above search for: General Purpose, 15A (781 / 782 / 783 / 784 Series)

Kris;

So I am thinking this is one heavy duty relay boxed up with multiple NO and common contacts such that one track sensor can actuate quite a few different accessories, using one actuator track section. Did I get that right?

I see you have included a bridge rectifier and a ripple capacitor so that it can be used with AC to power the relay coil without the need to wire these externally. Good idea.

I like the use of banana jacks for several connections. Very handy.

Nice work!
