Train, Track and Motion Sensors - Electricity for Model Railroads

We are being sensitive. Sensitive to model train movement and model train operators moving about the layout. Track sensors. Motion sensors. Current sensors.
This is part one, an overview of DC ONLY systems. IR systems. Photocells. Current detectors. Capsidence sensors. And magnetic track detectors. And an intro to the LGB 1015K with a 17100 magnetic sensor for automatic reversing system. AND a look at making your own unit for about $8.
NOTE! THIS FOR DC ONLY RAILROADS. DCC will be covered in a later video.

I'm learning something new from you folks every day. Yes, thanks for the morning coffee and lesson 😊

[@ToyManTelevision]

Morning!

[@garyacker7388]

@@ToyManTelevision good morning to you folks.

Hi Dale & Karyn. There is another sensor that can be used called RFID. This is where all of the locomotives, rolling stock, and switches have a decoder read by a computer. So you can have the computer route the trains and do yard sorting. Really fantastic way of making model railroading realistic.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks for the info! Yup super super exotic stuff. And bar code. We saw a layout with about 1000 pieces of rolling stock that uses bar codes on the bottom of the cars.

I am learning more in very video you put out on this and it is actually starting to make sence to me. You are a great teacher Dale. See you and Karyn on Sunday.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi again. Blessings to you too 😊

[@kenshores9900]

Very interesting. I was just going-to do polarity switching manually. ‘More fat o chew on. See you Sunday!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks Ken 😊

I have to say: I wish my EE course in college had been this fun.

[@mikespurg8006]

My EE class was on transistor theory back in 1963. There was no such thing as LSI, LOL.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks 😊

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Dale. You are a teacher and a half. Very well explained.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Thanks😁😁😁🚀🚀🤩

Great vidio, cant wait tiill tuseday... thanks for the morning coffee...

[@ToyManTelevision]

Morning!

[@jinkshunter8022]

I believe Touch Toggles are a capacitance sensor.

[@ToyManTelevision]

I’ll look into that! Thanks

[@philipwilliams6270]

Instead of all that wiring I prefer rail pro & thy have great sound

[@ToyManTelevision]

Anther subject fer sure.

[@Santafefrank]

Thanks 😊

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi again!!!

[@lancebastnagel1350]

Extremely informative!
Curious, what program do you use for drawing your layout?

[@ToyManTelevision]

Photoshop. Some illustrator. And my old 3D. Light wave. I used to teach it.

[@Seanmmvi]

Hello, I'm am looking for a Joe Works HOn30 Shay - you made a video on yours some time ago and I was wondering if you would consider selling it to me? Thanks!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hi. Sorry but no. Sorta love it. 😊

[@Seanmmvi]

@@ToyManTelevision I can understand that! I'm looking for one to turn into On18!
