(...) I make my modules 30" x 45" (2 x 3 large gray baseplates). I like to orient them 3 baseplates *deep* so as to give plenty of room to model after having 2 mainlines. I found 30 x 30 to be a bit small, requiring a lot of tables. 30 x 60 can get (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jan-03, to lugnet.trains)

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)
