Smart Signals

We are pleased to offer the new 1:24 Scale line of “Smart Signals” designed and manufactured by Z-Stuff for Trains. These operating signals require no wiring. Each is powered by a 9 volt battery. Built-in circuitry allows the units to accept AC or DC power up to 24 volts, so if you are using DCC, DCS, Train Engineer Revolution or any similar constant voltage track power it would be a simple matter to eliminate the need for the signal battery. Each signal's on-board motion sensor detects a passing train changing the block signal from green to red. Fifteen seconds later the signal LEDs change from red to yellow, and then – after a brief delay - back to green. While on battery operation the signals will enter sleep mode after several minutes of inactivity. This battery protection feature is awakened by the next passing train. Materials are primarily brass. Each version is weatherproof and certified for outdoor use. The initial six designs will be available around February 2010. Accepting pre-orders now. Quantity discounts available.

SMADZ-1040LQ - Semaphore; Lower Quad
SMADZ1040.jpg
AVAILABLE FEB. 2010

Semaphore Lower Quadrant- Photo shows both Upper and Lower Quadrant - Lower Quadrant is pictured on the right.

With metal poles and ladders, these scale signals will look great along your right-of-way. The 3-position flag has a realistic slow motion. The base has optical sensors built-in with a sensitivity adjustment. Just apply power and put them next to the track. These signals do the rest.

When the train is sensed next to the motor moves the signal to the stop condition and shows RED. No power is on the motor in each position. Four (4) seconds after the train passes, the signal changes to caution showing YELLOW. After three (3) more seconds the signal returns to clear showing GREEN.

They have separate inputs and outputs so they can be daisy chained. The down track signal will hold the up track signal on yellow until the down track signal goes off red.
