Adjustable Regulated "LED" Lighting Regulated LED Lighting uses track or other low voltage input power to provide illumination. Maximum illumination is reached at a very low voltage and remains constant for the balance of the speed range. Regulated LED Lighting gives a more intense and uniform illumination, uses less current and tends to ignore power interruptions caused by dirt on wheels and track resulting in more flicker free lighting. Warm White ....similar to a filament bulb for most cars.
LED lighting installations, continued Item 2380 installed in "G" gauge caboose. Marker lamps were changed to use red led's, item 532, and wired to work with the LED lighting strip. Item 541 limiting resistor is also required. All pictures was taken in a daylight illuminated room. Amber boards were used in the Aristo heavyweight (upper left) & Am Models. Warm white, #2379, used in AF chrome coaches. A F.R.E.D., #556, was added to the tail light. No extra lighting was used for the drumhead.

Detection Equipment, current sense TRAK-DT Family of detectors. Overview This family of detectors has a long history of operation. They were originally produced in 1984 and have been working flawlessly ever since. While the circuitry has evolved as components have changed and more types have been added to the line, the basic detection concept remains the same. These are the most reliable detection circuits in the model railroad industry with the longest service history.
12VPS - Regulated 12 volt Power Supply The 12VPS is a "regulated" 12 volt DC power supply. It is intended to power devices such as the TRAK-DT family, OPTO-DT, and the KEEP-A-LIVE. Failure to power these items with an appropriate regulated 12DC supply may damage the boards. This damage is not covered under any warranty. Input to the 12VPS should be 14-20 volts AC (16vAC typical, Item# 690).
Relay Contacts - electrical diagram Relay contacts are used on most all of our Signaling Components. These are used since they are the most forgiving when mis-wiring occurs and they provide for electrical isolation of the load to the circuit. SECT A SECT - section A N/C - Normally Closed C - Common N/O - Normally Open B - section B N/C - Normally Closed C - Common N/O - Normally Open When the relay is relaxed the "C" Common terminal is connected to the "N/C" Normally Closed.
