Testing -End Configuration - Limit Switch

Sketchi Railroading gets serious about designing and detailing to the public its development of an End Of Track Safety System (EOTSS) as decreed by the Model Train Safety Board (MTSB.) The video details the first testing configuration using a limit switch mounted at the very end of the track to stop the power to the engine. Please to note that NO (1 to 87 scale) persons were damaged in the testing. As was expected, at high speeds detection at track end is too late to prevent derailment. Testing moves on to other limit switch configurations and the use of non-contact sensing (laser, IR, ultrasound.) Stay tuned for the further results. Follow Sketchi Railroading on FB
