Brake Generator  $25.00

(manual version)
This Brake Signal Generator is manually operated and is suitable for systems where the mobile decoders support
DC analog conversion for braking or "Asymmetric Signal"
(Lenz Gold decoders)

DC Generator
  Asymmetric  

Set Speed Zero Packet Generator $ 85.00

This Set Speed Zero Generator can be operated via CAB and is suitable for  all systems.  This device includes a "Set Speed Zero" packet encoder. This code generator broadcasts a set speed zero command and is addressable.  Suitable for those layouts running Soundtrax, older NCE or other decoders that do not recognize DC conversion.  A dedicated power booster is required.

Accessory Power Drop $19.95

This module allows for the connection of any 5, 9 or 12 VDC accessory direct to DCC track power.  The module supplies a positive voltage regulated current up to 1 Amp to power features such as lights, motor driven devices, billboards etc.

  5  VDC
  9 VDC
12 VDC

X Gate/Signal BitSwitch  Price $19.95

This BitSwitch can be used for triggering sound effects, closing a crossing gate, powering a X signal or any other purpose where it is desirable to apply 6 to 12 VDC to an accessory on the rail side.

Input power source can be 12 to 35 volts AC, DC or DCC.
Output power can be 6 VDC, 9 VDC, 12 VDC or Output=Input depending on the unit ordered.

    6 VDC
    9 VDC
  12 VDC
O=I VDC

Input voltage must be > or = to the output voltage
Note: This BitSwitch will work for any layout regardless of the power used to operate the engines 
(AC, DC, DCC or BATTERY)

Timed Stop BitSwitch $89.95

Used to stop trains when they enter an isolated section (Block, Station, Spur etc.).  Timed stop is adjustable from 0 to 120 seconds. Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls.

Alternate Spur $69.95

A train entering either of two spurs will be stopped and held until another train enters the adjoining spur and then released to the main line.

Alternate Spur For Analog DC Layouts $69.95

A train entering either of two spurs will be stopped and held until another train enters the adjoining spur and then released to the main line.

Yard Siding BitSwitch $59.95

Used to stop trains as they enter a siding dependent on the turnout position of that sidings exit. Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls. 

Includes Signal Control.

Block BitSwitch for Lenz Asymmetric DCC $49.95

Controls one block on a line.

Block BitSwitch with signal output $49.95

Controls one block on a line. Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls.

Block BitSwitch For Analog DC Layouts $49.95

Controls one block on a line.

Station BitSwitch with Signal output $79.95

Controls two blocks on lines that merge at a station where the operator wishes the trains to stop.  Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls.

 With Signal

Passing Siding $79.95

Controls two blocks on lines that separate at a siding where the operator wishes trains diverted to the siding to stop and remain in the siding until another train passes on the MAIN LINE.  Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls.

With Signal

Merge BitSwitch $79.95

Controls Two blocks on lines that merge to a single line where the operator wishes the trains to stop only as traffic requires.  Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls.

Spur BitSwitch with signal $79.95

Controls one block immediately proceeding track points and checks the position of the points (closed or thrown) and also checks both lines following the points for occupancy.  Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls.

 With Signal

DT-ST-DT BitSwitch $89.95

Controls a section of main line that operates in a Bi-Directional mode.  This BitSwitch accommodates Double Track to Single Track main to Double Track condition.  Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls.

Brake for Manually Set Signal $69.95

This BitSwitch allows a signal to be set from a control panel.  If the signal has been set RED when the train detector is activated the train will slow to a stop using CV4 braking momentum.  When the signal is manually set GREEN from the control panel the train will accelerate using CV3 momentum. If the signal is GREEN when the train detector is activated the train is not affected. See Manual

2 Way Crossing Control Stand Alone Version $69.95
2 Way Crossing Control for Integration with other BitSwitches $89.95  

Controls a crossing where traffic flow in the automatic mode is always moving in the same direction on either crossing line.  Allows the trains to cross on a first come first serve basis.  Is compatible with all BitSwitch controls.

 

Stand Alone  Integrated    

4 Way Crossing Guard 2.5 Amp only $94.95

STAND ALONE DEVICE
Not suitable for large scale layouts.
stand alone device or with "Block BitSwitches" on each approach for additional control but is not fully compatible with all BitSwitches controls.

Signal BitSwitch $19.95

This circuit will power a stand alone signal. Power input can be 10-16V DCC, DC or DCC  Output voltage to the signal = Input voltage
If reduced voltage is need insert a resistor to the signal common

Decoder Function Relay 1A $9.95

This BitSwitch can be used for triggering any function that will overload the allowable DCC decoder function amperage.  This condition occurs most often in G-Scale applications where smoke generators draw more current than is allowed by the DCC decoder and therefore need to be powered directly from the track.  This switch will allow the engineer to use direct track power for the smoke generator and still be able to turn the smoke generator ON/OFF utilizing DCC decoder functions allowing conservation of smoke fuel when the engine is parked on a siding or when the generator is dry.
