QUOTE (fliermike @ 5 Aug 2008, 17:23) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I'm seeking a simple block occupancy detector to use with DCC. I don't want a complicated unit that reports to
computers etc. Just need a circuit that will detect a loco (or rolling stock equipped with lights or resistors) in a block section.
The final output should be a set of dry contacts that can be used to energise a relay.
