Automatic Train Control for G-scale, HOn3, HO
Full size SwitchMaster

SwitchMaster-4
Turnout Controller

What it is:

The RRC SwitchMaster is an electronic module that connects directly to electric track switches (turnouts) and will alternately throw the switch RIGHT or LEFT when trains pass over a sensor in the track.

This makes it very easy for trains to follow a different path every time around! ...Or have the first train go left, while the following train goes right!

The RRC SwitchMaster also contains a two-pole, double position latching switch contact (relay) that can be used in many different ways. When attached to a StationMaster, many advanced railroading operations are easily possible.

Features and Capabilities:

  • LED indicators show the state of the turnout.
  • 4 possible triggering channels:
    Alternate (2 independent channels),
    Force Turnout Left,
    Force Turnout Right.
  • Momentary outputs protect electric switches even when the trains park on top of sensors.
  • State-of-the-art surface-mount technology.
  • Automatic reset on power up for synchronization of turnout to relay.
  • Totally independent triggering channels allow trains to park on sensors.
  • Provides latching switch contacts (relay) that is synchronized with the turnout.
  • Contains drivers for lighting signal towers or signal lamps depending upon turnout position.

How to automatically perform advanced railroading operations:

Hookup examples include the following:
