Trains around Linleys Garden Railway are controlled with the DLC [Decentralised Logic Control] System and a major module is the Block Section Controller. Each module controls about 6 to 10 metres of track and one train.
This video explains more about the function and construction of the Block Section Control module and shows how the circuit board is formed, the connections to it and the power management unit.
I fully appreciate that there are better ways to regulate the power to the track but for the time being I’m sticking with the old fashioned notching up and down of series resistors. I will explore PWM and solid state electronics in due course. If you have any experience of these technologies, please do comment in the box below.
