Simulated track extender - for model railways

2-22 — elektor february 1982 simulated track extender The train leaves and stops automatically after a preset period of time when this circuit, which doesn"t require consider- able alterations to the track, is con- nected. If the connection is made at a point in the track where the train can"t be seen (for example in a tunnel) it will seem that the train went much further than it actually did. The track seems longer than it really is. Moreover this circuit can also be used to make the train stop as soon as it reaches the station, so that the passengers can get on and off the train, without having to make a run for it. simulated track extender for model railways This circuit literally stops the train "in its tracks" for a certain preset period of time. This is especially effective when it happens in a tunnel, since the train can be made to disappear for a surprisingly long time. Before children get into a panic the train will pop out in due course ... The circuit can also be used...
