NOTE: EACH SIGNAL TARGET REQUIRES ITS OWN SIGNAL CONTROL BOARD AND
ITS OWN BLOCK DETECTOR BOARD.
SINGLE TARGET
The Single Target Signal is most commonly used on main lines
at the beginning of signal blocks. It is common to see two sin-
gle targets on each side of the main line facing opposite direc-
tions. These signals are used for Automatic Block Signaling
(ABS) to separate trains traveling in the same direction. Our
ABS system is Bi-Directional.
For modelers who have their layouts
already functioning with a transformer,
all that is needed to get started is the
Single Target, a Block Detector Board, a
Signal Control Board, and wiring.
BI-DIRECTIONAL TARGET
The Bi-Directional Target Signal is com-
monly used used on double track main
lines for Automatic Block Signaling (ABS). This signal solves
the problem of having to put signals between the two tracks.
For modelers who have a functioning layout with a trans-
former, all that is needed to get started is the Bi-Directional
Target, 2 Block Detector Boards, 2 Signal Control Boards,
and wiring.
