Two trains run around the layout in a very realistic manner.
One of the trains will wait at the siding until the other train passes by. After that train has traveled some distance, the stopped train will slowly accelerate and follow the first train. The first train will then enter the siding and be passed.

This track configuration allows two trains to be run in a very
realistic manner. Each of the trains will gracefully slow-down
and pause. Both trains will be running at the same time for some duration, depending
upon the size of the layout.
Your actual track layout can be as big as you like. We have only shown
the most basic layout.
For swtich control, the SwitchMaster puts out a 1 second "burst" to the electric turnout when triggered by a train sensor. This means that it is impossible to overheat or damage electric turnouts. For switching reliablity, the SwitchMaster puts a pure DC voltage on the switch instead of a half-wave rectified AC signal. This gives MUCH more power to the turnout and eliminates the need for "boosters" or amplifiers to drive the switch. Both turnouts can be powered if desired. For a very interesting effect, one train can be very long... too long for the siding. The long train never stops, but always passes by the shorter train. This is done by removing the magnet from the long train so that it does not decelerate and stop. This is easily done, just by removing the magnet from the magnet mount. When the magnet is re-attached, the trains go back to doing their "leap frog"! Also, by offsetting magnets to the left or right, and mounting train sensors on the left or right side of the track, it is possible to "identify" trains such that only European trains stop at the European station, and only Western trains stop at the Western station! What you won't see: Since the StationMaster is used for graceful decelerations and accelerations, there will not be any JERKS on your trains... WE WON'T SPILL THE SOUP! (Or strip the gears!) |
