The
Sensor:
The
sensor (Reed-contact) reacts on all magnets, e.g. on
LEGO-couplings and motors. That makes the system simple and all LEGO
trains can run on this layout. No special contactors at the trains are
required. The problem at the moment is that all trains need to be
equally long to avoid contact failures, - I am busy solving this!
