Serenska posted:How about creating a circuit that, when activated by a train entering an insulated rail section, causes two separate leads to be energized alternately, for a duration that would follow the other timing settings you've proposed above? The application I have in mind is causing the lights on an Lionel Postwar 154 Highway Signal to flash alternately.
If you can provide a device which eliminates the use of the wretched 154C contactor, and replaces it with a simple insulated rail trigger, I and a lot of other Postwar guys would beat a path to your door.
I like it and will put it on the list. Not hard at all to add in. I think I'd set it up so that one of the relays toggles back and forth which light is on, and the other remains on while triggered, rather than having one relay for each light. This way, if one wanted to also trigger a sound function, like a bell, it could be done easily.
As a side note, I'm going to take some time now to consolidate the list of functions, and figure out which ones are simple, and which are more difficult. What parts are needed as a minimum and so on. I'll report back later.
