The BLOCKsignalling PTS1 is designed to automate one or more DC model trains along a length of track, automatically starting, stopping and reversing the train, and operating points using the built-in CDU as required. At each end of the track, a diode is fixed across an insulated rail gap to stop the train until the track current is reversed and the train can automatically start traveling back along the track.
The module is fully programmable to select fixed or random waiting time at one or both ends of the line and to set the maximum waiting time. The module is also capable of driving up to two solenoid points motors which are automatically operated by the module to route trains.
The module can be configured for a number of track layouts, and can operate with up to three trains, depending on the layout.
Requires as 12V DC power supply and points motors. Package includes the module and 5 diodes.
