WeighStation™ Track Scales
The WeighStation™ Digital Display Track Scale emulates modern high-capacity track scales. WeighStation™ Track Scales realistically display weight when a railcar moves onto the scale track. Weight varies from car to car within a user-defined range.
The WeighStation™ Meter Display Track Scale emulates a vintage 100-ton track scale, with a smooth motion edgewise panel meter. The Meter Display is also available in an 80-ton model with 0 - 160,000 lbs. readout.
Infrared Detectors
NightScope™ Infrared Detectors sense trains in any (or no) light, driving LEDs, motors, and a wide variety of popular model railroad electronics.
Instant Response model (Black) turns off immediately on departure.
Delayed Response model (Red) holds detection for 2 seconds after train departs, ignoring gaps between railcars.
