Hi all
I am looking to source some relays, bridge rectifiers, resistors, and capacitors to create control blocks for my conventional layout which runs post war equipment - nothing modern. What I want is classic block control -- slow down a faster train behind a slower train while turning the signal lights from red to green. When I go to Digikey or other online supply houses I am intimidated as hell in terms of picking the right parts with the right specs - too many choices!! I get the logic of how to install the circuits but I have no clue how to pick exactly the right parts that are the easiest to install (I am willing to pay up for ease of installation)
So my question - can someone recommend the exact part numbers for relays, bridge rectifiers, resistors and capacitors from a particular supply house? Sorry to be so exacting but I do not want to drop a bunch of cash on the wrong stuff.
Many, many thanks for the help and for being part of the forum - as a relative new comer to the hobby it is a great source of information.
