Signal Control without Block Detectors (Video
What I find most annoying when it comes to signal controlled model railroad operations is implementing isolated block sections so that the control system can know where the trains are. It requires quite some planning, considerable efforts for wiring and the resulting complexity makes it hard to find problems if things do not work as planned. I’m not interested in that so I thought it’s time to come up with a smarter approach.
