Signal Control Modules

Logic Rail offers three main modules for Prototypical Signaling: the SignalMaster that detects and signals up to 8 blocks with 2- and 3-color signals, the BlockMaster that detects and signals two blocks with 2- and 3-color signals, and the searchlight Master used in conjunction with the SignalMaster to convert its 3-color signal outputs to 3-color target (searchlight) signals using single 2-color LEDs - BlockMaster doesn't need SignalMaster.

Note: Unless you already know how signaling is supposed to work, and know how you will block your layout and place your signals, you will have a fair amount of learning to do to use these or any other "prototypical" signal controllers. Fortunately, Logic Rail provides a tremendous amount of signaling information with their products. Just be prepared to study up before you start work on signaling your layout.

Signal Head Connectors
These kits aren't needed, but make life much easier. Individual colors of all signals are wired together in parallel, while the common to each signal head is wired individually. Further, resistors have to be wired in series with either the common or colors. These boards provide all that wiring, with resistors (included), and a set of 8-wire phone jacks to run wires out to individual signal heads using standard 8-wire flat cable with RJ45 jacks.
