Terrific video Larry, I see that there are similar items available in N-scale too.

I have purchased a fair amount of these signals from the China manufacture. They might have a little extra paint on some of the parts. But they work great. I'm using IR sensors placed under the layout, I drill out space between the ties and mount the sensors below the rails. I'm also using the old, time tested Chubb system for the logic. It works great.

Very interesting Larry, I did not realise you could use the dcc circuit to run signals directly. It has also led me to link my ground signals and points on my ECoS which I had not done as both dcc controlled separately.

Thank you for all your in depth videos you make thing easy to uderstand. I would be interested in seeing how to incorporate the ground signals, and powering the frog with Caboose Industries 220S or 119R type manual ground throws.

Another great video. The system you describe is a route signaling system, which was/is primarily seen in the West. The choice of signaling for East Coast railroads is speed signaling. It wouldn't be as easy as the frog powered system, but would be more prototypical for the Southern, ACL, and SAL lines.

What you say is completely true, but I think the system Larry demonstrated is valid for indicating switch settings in yards and (possibly) sidings. I know the PRR used ground signals on some yard ladders to do this and would often use "restricted" to indicate taking the diverging route in interlockings. This system is clearly not appropriate for indicating block occupancy.

Hope one day you can make a video set up the lights underneath the table

Your awesome. I'm like a sponge, soaking it all up !!! Chuck

Awesome 🚂😎👍👍👍👍👍

Love it Larry! Unfortunately for me this doesn't work with frog juicers which I have installed everywhere! The main issue is that the signal would only change when the engine is on the turnout (triggering the juicer and thus the signal) which is too late. I didn't know about the automatic switching ground throws from caboose industries. Keep the good ideas coming!

I own a fair amount of the signals that Larry is talking about. The whole thing about signaling a railroad is the logic and knowing the how to input the logic. If you get a chance check out a couple of my you tube video's. (Dale Shipman Trains). I did a couple video's showing the signals in operation. I belonged to a large club (Kansas City Eastern) and we signals part of the layout. Chubb System is what we used. We were very lucky to have at our disposal and individual who has programed several layouts with this system. Old, but true! If you have questions about the system, let me know.

Larry nice video All my signals are connected to an NCE Light-IT which send a code to my NCE systems which JMRI can see and on my JMRI Panel the signals change this helps for when using Dispatcher and running trains. The signals automatically change and the trains stop or go depending on the signal

Tom what do you use for a feedback interface?

Also a company named we honest in China nice signals prototype size.

On my On30 layout, currently still in the track laying stage, I follow a narrow gauge copper mining railroad in about 1900-1912. I have a large reference book for a guide.. I have not noticed any signals in any of the photos. The railroad was isolated and ran point to point with wyes at both ends. At each end was also a passenger station. At the bottom of the mountain a standard gauge railroad came up on the other side of a long transfer dock for passengers and goods. So, I don't think signaling will be necessary on that layout. However, I am designing a second layout in N scale. It is designed as a switching layout, no loops, located somewhere in the U.S. that represents switching 30' and 40' billboard reefers among the cold storage warehouses receiving goods for further distribution. It is basically all downtown yard in an L shape shelf style. The time period in 1929-1930. There will only be four engines. Two Ingersoll Rand Boxcabs and two 0-8-0 steam engines (yard goats). The design kind of represents a canyon of warehouses with an industrial boulevard for trucks. Does anybody know of a reference for signal types used in yards in 1929-1930. I chose this time period because of the ICC ban on billboard reefers in 1932.

The N scale layout might all be within yard limits and not have any signals at all. If it does have signals, I suggest that a good place to look for the types of signals to be used would be a rulebook for the railroad you are modelling. Some of these are available on line. For example prr railfan net documents has the 1925 book of rules for the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Thank you for this simple tip. I just set mine up based on your example, and would you believe I actually got a number 4 Bachmann turnout to work with signals changing when turnout is open or closed. Again excellent, excellent, excellent video.... thank you!

Hi Larry, I have purchased signals but I am now building my signals. I use Azatrax signal controllers with infrared sending and receiving units. Your layout must be DC or there is a hidden rectifier in the circuit. One can make one’s own signals for Pennies. Rob

I've got about 8 red/green signals to put on my DC layout still but I'm just not exactly sure where to place them!!?? I don't have a huge layout HO ,it fits in a single garage,so @ 18' deep x 12' 8" width. I only have enough room for two stations on two mains,so @ 66' or so of track and several loop lines,a six track yard, some sidings and dead ends. I'm just not sure where I should place these signals as I'd actually like them to interact with my locos. Cheers from C.Bernath,Maine.

(Slaps self in head) Why didn't I think of this before.

Thank you Larry for another great video. I really enjoy your well explained and easy to follow demonstrations. In the video you showed a signal with a yellow light and hence four wires to start with, but then showed only a red/green combination. How could you hook up the orange wire using this method? This has been timely as I am looking at adding some signals as i build my layout and I am experimenting on a passing loop. This works great for exit signals, but how about entrance ones? Cheers

I would connect the red and green wires to 5he DCC bus using T-tap suitcase connectors as I have shown on previous videos. That way if you need to swap the wires the mot is easily done.

How would you wire in the yellow light. I am using Walthers switch machines with older switches from th 80s so no power to the frog. The switch machines have 2 switches on them I was thinking I could connect the black to one track and the other to the center pole on switch machines with the red and green lights attached to the other point with the signal coming to a switch that will derail it. On the other side I would connect the yellow and green to the other points to show green for straight and yellow for siding.

If I understand you correctly that sounds like it will work. Just use the SPDT switch in the Tortoise to flip phase(polarity) and attach the common to it and wire the green and yellow wires to the DCC power bus. I just showed it attached to the rails so folks could actually see what I was doing.

Yes and no. It is a square wave that alternates between the rails-watch my recent video on DCC track power for the complete story. At any rate LEDs can see it as as DC since it has a phase similar to the concept of polarity. That may sound confusing and it is but that’s how it works! With the proper sized resistor, 1000 ohms in this case, the signals work off track power.

Hi Larry. Can you show me how to wire 2 three leg bicolored LEDs back to back with a DPDT toggle so they alternate with the switch? Like red turns to green while the second led, green turns to red. It’s for turnouts. I’m trying to wire from the switch and not the tortoise. When I try this, it seems like this second bicolored LED cancels out the first. I saw the video you have with the red and green LED.s but they were not bicolored LEDs.

@TheDCCGuy

10 ай бұрын

Ok, it sounds like you are using a Tortoise to control the points. Now on the 3 leg LED there are 3 legs, 1 for the green, 1 for the red, and 1 that is the common for the other 2. So try this first with just one LED. Connect the green leg to one DCC bus wire (with a 1K ohm resistor) and the red leg to the other bus wire (with a 1K ohm resistor). Now, on your Tortoise connect the common out contact on one of the built-in switches to the common on the LED. Finally, connect the other two Tortoise switch contacts to one each of the DCC power bus wires. Whenever you throw the switch using the Tortoise the LEDS should change. Now you have a 50:50 chance of getting this wired correctly the first time so if the LEDs light up backwards just swap their connections to the power bus. Once you get one working correctly just wire the second LED and you’re done.

Yeah, well we're certainly not on the common application list. Cheap Chinese PRR signals isn't a thing either. I think a similar effect can be done on a PRR 7-light signal by wiring the center light to be constantly on. The two vertical lights get attached to one rail, and the two horizontals to the other. But the diagonals (the single yellow on a common three-light signal) isn't part of this method. It would add some complexity, just as setting a prototypical secondary approach signal further back would. This is definitely a very low tech (though excellent) idea for a simplistic imitation of a working signal system at turnouts. Anything prototypical is a step up in complexity for sure.

The Frog Juicer will change the frog phase(polarity) independent of the turnout points being switched. So the LEDs will not change until a loco proceeds through the turnout and of course it will not proceed until the LEDs change-catch 22. So this really only works when used with some manual or motorized point controller which changes frog power.
