Keeping 2 Streetcars Moving on the mainline at all times
.
Video 834, Part 2: https://vimeo.com/851466578 or https://youtu.be/iG6FXqiFKpg
- This is newly-made Part 2 of older Video 834 -- that shows 3 MTH O-GA. PCC's automatically operating on a larger loop than we used in the previous Part 1.
- With the larger loop, this gives us the OPTION of keeping TWO of the PCCs continuously moving on the MAINLINE all the time.
- We can switch back and forth between having 2 PCCs moving on the mainline or just 1 PCC moving on the mainline.
- (With the small loop used in Part 1, we could only run 1 PCC on the mainline at a time.)
~~~~~~
- This system uses a single Z-Stuff detector (and requires NO electrical blocks in the track).
- Note the previous streetcar Video 836 (described in the previous post just above) ran 7 PCCs using 2 Z-Stuff detectors (and no blocks).
SUMMARY:
We now have 2 automatic streetcar control methods available:
- A single detector method to run from 1 to 3 streetcars (Video 834) -- with either 1 or 2 cars moving on the mainline,
- a 2nd method (using two detectors) to run from 1 to 7 cars (Video 836) -- that moves each car 1-at-a-time between the 2 detectors.
