- How to use reed switches and magnets to detect trains and even automate diode bridge reversing loops. With special attention to the LGB 1015 reversing loop system with its 17100 reed switch detection system.
Placing reed switches under the track and magnets on the locomotives is a simple way to detect a passing locomotive or anything with a magnet mounted to the bottom. AND it works on any size railroad, well I guess not 7.5" gauge, but any train, any track as it is independent of track power or track size.
LGB offered an expensive system, no longer on the market, that like all LGB systems worked brilliantly. I used it on my backyard railroad and it never failed once in about eight years of operation.

It sounds so easy when you describe it. I still might have to listen to it two or three more times. Thank you Dale for your videos!
You can do it! It’s fun after all
Another great tutorial that is well explained by Professor Dale, Master Electrician!!!!!
Thanks again!
I am getting better at understanding what you are saying, now I just have to remember what you told us.
I am learning a lot thank you Dale for this series.
GOD BLESS 🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖🚂💖
I'm glad you featured this. I'm in the planning / material gathering stages of a dual gage N and H.O. scale modular layout.
When I started buying signals, I discovered there is no longer a DC friendly signal system that's already available. Atlas once offered a system, but it's no longer made to be compatible with DC, and any of the more sophisticated systems out there, only support the newer common anode style signals, and the atlas signals are common cathode.
So I can go with an Azatrax TS5, or I can try this system first. I don't mind a little bit of wiring, but I do mind expensive systems that may not work.
Thanks again for this video.
Never a nasty comment! However my eyes were glazing over. Any more now I try not to think to hard about things. However I got to thinking how I can adapt this to my layout. Dale; You discuss not so easy to understand topics in a way that anyone can understand. Thank you!😎🇺🇸
No nasty comments here. Love your guys videos hope your having a great week. Took a while to get all caught up. We just moved
Thank you! You too! Mor fun coming!
Great vidio, Great info and simple. My coal mine On3 coal loco uses your point to point system but has a digital timer relay that powers a dead rail at each end so train glides to stop , waits 10 sec or more then flips switch reverse, 10"track prior can used a resistor to help slow train down . Thanks for the morning coffee...
While the 12030 is no longer available, LGB does offer the 12070 as the replacement. The 17100 is still available from LGB.
Great info thank you . Have a great weekend
😵💫
You interested in a g-3 backman #175 engine for parts 30.00 can at the loco store. Took pix. If you interested...
