 Unfortunately, when I built my layout I did not consider doing my mainline into blocks.  I have been reading about a company called "Z Stuff"  The signals appear to be very realistic and you supposedly don't need insulated rail to make the blocks as the signals are motion sensors.  I understand that I won't be able to have a signal stop a train but the "Z Stuff"signals look like they might be my answer in putting signals along my mainline. Has anyone used these signals and what do you think about them?

Yes, I've used their 3 color block signals and they're great. They just need to be positioned adjacent to your track and can operate from track power (power and ground). There is some sort of optical sensor built into the base and it is triggered when a train passes. At that time they change from red to green, then after the train leaves, they change to yellow for a short period, then back to red.

 

They have extra wires to allow them to be connected together so the first one being triggered by the train then also affects those down the line to simulate true block occupancy.
