Description

This infra-red (optical) block detector senses when a train is present in a section and feeds that occupancy information back to your Feedback Module for display on a mimic panel. Because it works optically it suits both DCC and analogue layouts.

It is supplied with a hook-up cable, ready to connect to a channel on the Feedback Module. If you need the powered feedback version instead, order the Feedback Module and leave a note with your order; powered versions are made to special order and may add a couple of days to processing.

Still manufactured and fully supported as part of the Classic range. A simple, reliable building block for layout signalling and feedback.
