MISSION - To provide model railroad solutions that deliver more functionality, expandability, affordability and ease of use for any model railroader regardless of experience
Better Solutions for all Model Railroaders
Â
As fellow modelers, we value and seek model railroading products that will deliver more functionality, save time and money, grow as our layout grows, and provide the best in reliability. Since almost all model railroad layouts have turnouts, we sought to improve the experience of installing and controlling turnouts. We looked at what is used for turnout control and then designed ways to deliver a more complete alternative for any model railroad hobbyist. Â

Turnout Control
Today stall motors are commonly used such as Tortoise or Switchmaster. As an alternative we have developed a better and more complete solution. Our turnout solutions provide:
- Servo motors instead of stall motors such as Tortoise or Switchmaster
- Simplified installation for any model railroader regardless of experience
- Expandability for future growth
- More functionality through Pushbutton control
- Greater expandability to include support for metal frog turnouts
Occupancy Detection
In addition to turnout control, many model railroad layouts are automated to provide signaling and the ability to track trains running on the layout. One of the most common methods to deliver such solutions is to provide occupancy detection to blocks on the model railroad layout. There are a number of ways to provide such occupancy detection. Some use infrared light to sense when a train is in a certain block of track while others use circuits that can sense when a car is present by sensing current flowing through the rails of a particular block. Our occupancy detection offering provides
- 4 circuits on one board to handle up to four blocks
- It uses current sensing with optical isolation for best reliability
- There are no adjustments necessary for proper operation
