gunrunnerjohn,
This is great, it means I can purchase a single opto-relay for each Lionel signal and wire them at each switch location or purchase a double and run line to 2 of the Lionel signals, depending on the switch locations and how close they happen to be. This is going to be great, thanks again John for all your electrical knowledge! I take it that the remote control when activating the CC FasTrack switch will also activate the old Lionel direction signal via the opto-relay. That means I could also use the opto-relay for my old Tin Plate crossing lights, in the same manner. I will order about 4 doubles and 4 singles of these opto-relays for my Christmas FasTrack Layout. Way cool John.
If a guy wanted to he could use the 8 channel opto-relay but then it would lead to running wires all over the layout, which I am trying to eliminate. I do believe one of these opto-relays mounted at each old Lionel directional signal would immulate the Union Switch & Signal power station at the real crossings & switch locations, just like on the actual railroads. Real nice find john!
USCGRET,
Thanks for starting this thread I really appreciate it, big time. This means all my old Lionel signals will operate with my low voltage Command Control. Ya got to love this OGR forum!
