This is exactly what I am working on. I am using the rotary light emitting
element from the Technic Space shuttle and linking to a signal remotely via
the fibre-optic cables. The idea is that a passing train operates the rotary
element mechanically, turning the signal from green to red to show 'section
blocked' to following trains.
In my case the signal is conveniently turned back to green to show 'section
clear' when the train passes in the opposite direction on a parallel track via
another m,echanical link. The function of this signal is not decorative - it's
purpose is to flag train occupancy of a hidden return loop. Getting it to work
reliably is another matter!
