Reply to "Running PRR signals - how to wire"

Here are 3 other off-the-shelf isolated-rail-trigger relay modules that have been discussed in the last month or so on OGR.  If anyone else has photos or diagrams to add of other off-the-shelf relay modules, it might be useful to consolidate tack that on here (for the record).

The 153E seems to be discontinued or very hard to find.  The Azatrax does not appear to have a capacitor on it but I don't have one so don't know for sure.

If with roll-your-own, here's a write-up by Dale H about what's going on under-the-hood at the component level which has photos of his implementation:

And here's GRJ's schematic I copied from this thread where he posted it.  He might have a photo of it somewhere but I can't remember.
