An IR proximity sensor(IR LED and photodiode of small diameter are recommended). A diagonal cutter. A track segment(I used a Kato S62 track). A hotglue gun or super glue. A smallsized crosshead screwdriver with a pointed tip. A crosshead screwdriver of about the same diameter as those of the IR LED and the photodiode of the sensor.
The IRSB is a simple and sophisticated infrared train detection sensor. The sensor can detect most rail cars reliably. The IRSB is not affected by certain types of lighting, because of its sophisticated design. The sensor is tiny, fitting Nscale rails. The sensor body is one rigid unit, fitting within a single tiecrib. A ribbon cable connects the sensor to the IR4 controller module. Each ...
Welcome to My HO Model Railroad Blog. Arduino Crossing Gate Controller Project I found some very slick Arduino IR Detectors on eBay at a very good price and I figured that they would be worth the investment of 45¢ to play with, 10 for They turned out to be very good for under the track type obstacle detectors. So good I decided to give Geoff Bunza’s Crossing Gate Controller a shot ...
IR Sensors One of the more useful things to connect to an Arduino, at least when working with model trains, is an infrared optical sensor. This is a device that reports a number that varies depending on how much infrared light is falling on it. Infrared (literally “below red”) is light that the human eye can’t see. Some normal light ...

Unfortunately to do this on a model railroad, more than just the first locomotive needs to draw current. This means you have to equip all or most of your cars with resistors or resistive paint between the wheels. For this reason we did not use current detection, because you would have to spend a bunch of money and time to modify all of your cars. 2. Optical Detection. This is the method our ...

Our Model railroad train detection products provide the model railroader a variety of means to detect trains. We have optical type detectors that work excellent for detecting trains at specific locations as well as the more prototypically correct currentbased detection used on most North American railroads and elsewhere in the world. Photocell technology is the most economical option for ...
Infrared (''IR'') Train Detectors Coded pulsed infrared proximity sensors for detecting model trains on the track. Pulsing (modulation) allows the detector to ignore ambient lighting. Coded pulsing allows each detector to ignore the IR signals of other nearby …
20091104· On page 20 of the December 2009 issue of Model Railroader is a Correction to the IR Train Sensing Circuit published on page 64 in the October 2009. In general, the 470 Ohm and the 470K Ohm resistors got reversed.
Sensors play a vital role in the automation of model railroads. They are the eyes and ears of your remote control system. CTI offers a full range of affordable, easytouse sensor kits. Of course, all are 100% compatible with the TrainBrain''s sensor ports. The following table should help you pick the right sensor for each of your railroad''s remote control applications.

20190329· Hello DCC train modelers. I''m looking for advice on using an Infrared obstacle avoidance module connected to a DCC Concepts IP Cobalt turnout. The purpose is to have the module detect an on coming train and when the switch/points are in the wrong position the sensor/module will signal the Cobalt switch to change the points.
IR detector on the same side of the track. The IR beam is projected across the track towards an open area. The IR emitter and detector are shielded from one another so that no IR can go directly from the emitter to the detector. The detector "sees" IR only when an object, like a train, passes close by and

With no train present infra red is sensed by the detector and with a train present no infra red is received by the emitter. This is the opposite to what happens when the infra red detector is working by reflected infra red. For example if you used an IRDOT1EW the occupied LED would light when no train is present and the unoccupied light when the train was present. This is not really a problem ...
