Same is used in the automated level crossing and the decoupling station.
The switches are only switches, the transformer has been opened by one of the

| Hi Ben, Thank you for the link to the opened 12V switch control device. It is very informative. I measured, without openening, the resistance of the coil (if I remember correctly it was about 55Ohms) but I couldn't really conclude if there was a (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)
