Interesting. Looks like you toggle them with dcc like a point motor...

I'm not to sure but hey no wiring that can't be to bad

They look like they work like the cobalts.

 

Switch them to 'learn' then pick an accessory address. Then switch them to 'run'. Once you call up the address and toggle, they change...

 

Could be very simple..

Very very tempted mate

I wonder what their power consumption is like? I had some point motors powered off the track supply but it would probably be better to have a separate power supply or booster powering the signals.

 

Its fairly simple to convert points to computer control using JMRI or some of the other programmes, but there is a lot of additional hardware and wiring converting signals to automatic operation.

Just picked up one this week to see how it would operate. Very easy to set up and very easy to use. Simply attach to the rails, activate with a wire, supply an accessory address and start to use.

If you were using it in conjunction with a point I would say you could give it the same DCC address and have them change at the same time
