Atlas Signaling System, new to me Q
Author: calsubd

In process of adding this to my layout, so far so good as they say but b/c its a Digitrax DCC layout I haven't seperated (insulated) between rails at crossovers (multiple), I am getting red and green sigs via a Atlas 4 way (#215 switch) but no yellow, ( I have to make blocks yet), I'm thinking my next step is insulating to seperate each track into 4 blocks per signal (G type, R,Y &G) Right now only 2 tracks  side by side,and 1 crossover, am I correct?. TIA,Ed

I am using Tomar signals with a Digitrax bus and SE8C decoders, tied into a JMRI program, but I imagine the blocking would be the same.

Because I'm a newbie at this I decided to do four blocks on a single track excluding the crossover to get the proper lights in order, Thanks for your illustration, it helped a lot, Ed

Each mainline should be isolated from any other mainlines or side tracks.
