(...) Ah, now that's a good idea. A couple of diodes in series could cope with the power, and provide a consistent and measurable cue that current is flowing. I could use that to turn off a sound sensor whilst the train is moving, then enable it (...) (18 years ago, 9-May-06, to lugnet.trains, FTX)
