Shared Track for 2 main lines | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Flyer Repair GuyOGR Forum Member

Can someone tell me how to use 670 or 697 track trips to auto throw
switches and operate 761 semaphores to power the isolated section of track
between 2 main lines. I'm using a 30B trans. The switches are set (2 train oper). A wiring diagram along with where to put fiber pins would be greatly appreciated.

Gilbert made relay devices for this purpose as #26671, 26672 and 26673 Track Trips. They seem to be semi-difficult to find but are not all that complicated. I would think that Radio Shack could supply the necessary relays to duplicate their operation. Photos and original instruction sheets detailing the hook-up can be found at Trainrefs.com: http://www.trainrefs.com/Refer...pdates_frameset.html

Anyone ever used this method?

americanflyerexpress.com sells instruction sheets for $4.50 including postage.

There are also some instruction sheets on ebay.
