A better way to control your signals. Using readily available radio control servos a smooth controllable motion can be achieved.
Also the pause part way through the signalman pulling off the signal and the often seen bounce when returning to danger can be simulated.

It can also be used to control gates for level crossings and private sidings, doors on engine sheds and station buildings or any other similar movement.

Just plug the parts together, wire to a switch on your control panel, attach a link from the servo arm to your signal, and you can operate your signal far more realistically. No kits to build. No electrical knowledge required. Full details provided.

Power can be from a 12Vdc auxiliary supply or a plug-top supply of 9-12Vdc or similar. Current required will depend upon the servos used but 300mA or more should suffice.

A Set-up Box is required to set the end points and tell the system which end of travel represents danger position as different signals operate differently. It will also be possible to vary the operating parameters such as the amount of bounce and how fast the signal arm moves.  This only has to be done once; the board will remember all it's settings The same Set-up Box can be used on all control boards.
