UPDATED: The links to the videos are now fixed! FYI, I can deliver and setup to much of the mid-atlantic, and possibly surounding areas, at a reasonable rate if needed. CREATE THE ULTIMATE STARTER SET LAYOUT with this Auto Control circuit board! This Auto Control Board is capable of 3 trains running at same time on a loop and siding. Three videos example layouts are available at these links. (copy and paste the URL if needed). This last video shows a larger layout I setup at a train show using the Auto Control custom cirucut board on the inner loop on the layout. G Scale – This Auto Control Board, transformer and track are compatible with trains from LGB, Bachmann, Piko. Delton, Aristocraft, USA Trains and others. What exactly is this “Auto Control Board” and what do you get? You will receive the following general items and features, with instructions on how to assemble and operate the layout. A full items/parts listing is in the next section. The layout is a 10.3 x 5 ft. Long oval with an approximately 5.5 ft. The layout will run 3 TRAINS at once, automatically. The trains for this size layout must be short, usually 1 Engine and 2 cars, or 3 short cars per train. The Auto-Control circuit, included, allows full 3 train operation, or 2 different 2 train modes of operation, and single train operation as well. It features slowdown and startup track sections with variable speeds (please see vidoes of the Auto-Controls board in action). When you use single train operation mode, a 2. Train can wait on siding. Does not need to be moved. Custom circuit, on a board, that I built. This circuit board has 12 connections including power to 4 different “blocks” on the layout. Please ask any questions you might have about this unique train control circuit. A G-Scale DC power pack with enough power to run 3 single motor trains, with 1.8. Amps of DC current, or. The power pack will also supply 16V-18V AC power. To the switch, sensors and custom Auto-controls circuit board. Three trains running on a compact G scale layout is a sight to behold, and will entertain kids and train enthusiasts! This circuit at model train clubs and members are impressed, and usually have big smiles on their faces. My kids have really enjoyed these layouts over the years. In the spring of 2018 and 2019 I ran a larger layout with this Auto-Controls circuit board at a Train Show, and received dozens of wonderful comments about the impressive operation of the layout. A video of that layout is available on Youtube, please see the 4th link I’ve provided. They use all LGB parts, and heavy duty wire, rheostats, etc. Making them very reliable. OPTIONAL: Normally you can just assemble this layout on the floor or a large table. I’ve used several folding tables in the past. However, if you prefer, for an extra cost I will pre-assemble the layout on 4-6 wood train modules approximately 2 x 4 feet in size with model train grass mat installed. More on the options below. These are not pre-built and will require extra time to build and deliver, they can be built and delivered after the initial package, unless you’d like the track attached to the wood modules. Please ask if you’re interested. Parts List (Some part quantities are estimated). NOTE: No Trains are included in this listing, they are shown in the videos for reference for use with the Auto Control board and the tracks provided. ALSO, important to know: These components can be expanded to build ANY size layout you prefer. I currently use my unit to run a 26 x 14 ft layout at a train show, you can adapt this to any size G scale DC powered layout. I can assist you with getting it working, my manual covers using it on larger layouts. If you use larger trains that need more power, simply use a larger capactiy transformer, I’ve used mine with 5-15 AMP DC transfomers! If you do not want a transformer included let me know, and/or contact me and I can try to include a specific size or model. Transformer / Power Pack with approximately 1.8 – 3 Amps of power, with AC for accessories. 12 4 ft. Diameter brass curve track (5 ft diameters curves are optional at extra cost). 16 1 ft. Length brass straight track – approximately. 1(+) short length brass track – approximate, might supply more than 1 of varying lengths. 2 4 ft. Diameter G scale brass switches, 1 will come with an LGB switch machine. Parts for Auto-Controls circuit board, and other accessories. Circuit board is NEW and comes assembled. Wood board with two electrical boxes to hold components for the Auto-Controls custom circuit. 2 LGB switch machines. 2 LGB supplemental DPDT switches (turns LGB switch machines into DPDT relays). 4 LGB track sensors (reed switches). 3 LGB locomotive magnets. 2 high wattage rheostats with knobs. 1 LED w/LED holder. 2 small toggle switches. Approximately 30 feet of sensor and switch machine wire. Approximately 20 feet of. Color power and circuit wires. 1-2 terminal strips. About 1 dozen power connectors. 4-5 brass rail clamps, for power connections. 5 insulated rail joiners. ALSO included are assembly instructions, logic diagrams, and operating instructions. I will include photos where needed. SOME MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THIS LAYOUT. I’ve used these Auto Control Boards on my personal layouts for over 13 years now. I’ve decided to build and sell these custom Auto-Control circuits, that everyone enjoys tremendously, and sell kits for other train enthusiasts! The photos show a basic track layout. The layout provided is about 10.3 x 5 feet. Photos examples of the brass track are included. Also, included will be. 1.8 to 3 Amp transformer. The track supplied will be solid brass track from LGB and/or Aristocraft, PIKO, or USA Trains. Some components are new, others will be “like new” to “very good” condition. Please see videos in the links provided that demonstrate the custom built Auto Control Circuit Board. Please ask any questions you might have, I’m here to put your mind at ease and explain every part of this custom train setup. Zip code 22801 or within 120 miles of zip code 21146. Pre-assembled track modules, with or without track attached (This will take a much longer time to complete order). Larger diameter curves, or switches. 5 ft curves, or more, and/or 8 ft.
