    Will you be making these for installation in a more permanent setting with external power supply and a remote readout? Having a selectable/scaleable output would also be very useful perhaps along the lines of 0-10 VDC or 4-20mA.

    If this device helps encourage more realistic dynamics (speeds) then I'm all for it.
    BTW - I just scanned your website at the link - wow. Some really cool stuff. PLEASE tell me that you are also developing 'Dead Rail' Battery, remote control systems for N Scale. I am sooo wanting to go there and drop all the complexities of hot rails/wiring, track maintenance, etc. Cheers and Thanks for sharing.

    If you could add OO gauge (76.1 : 1) for direct answers, you could sell quite a few for us British modellers. (Meanwhile, I can convert as the website doesn't yet have the calculators.)

      @@ModelTrainTechnology In the UK there's also TT(1) scale 1:120 that is also a common European scale. The problem with any UK or European version will be the additional shipping and customs charges.
      1) TT, from the original name Table Top. Not to be confused with the microscopicly tiny T scale (runs on 3mm gauge track, scale about 1:500?). T is for Three like N is for Nine.

  • @Wrecker3D
    @Wrecker3D 2 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I would put that usb port on one or both sides for easier access¹ (and maybe even linking 2 _or more_ sticks together over greater distances) and see if I could make it send the data to a pc/mac over usb or bluetooth so you can monitor and log it so it adds extra value on larger setups
    ¹= instead of on/off switch use a 3 mode switch: off/battery/direct power with direct power mode taking the battery out of the loop so there's no risk of over charging
    I don't know if it would be a lot of hassle but it should be possible without the stick 'growing' too much or getting unnecessary complex (could sell it as 'pro' version)

    • @ModelTrainTechnology
      @ModelTrainTechnology  วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      We purposely removed the end facing USB because a cable there on the layout would be unsightly. The bottom facing is so a cable can be fed UP through the layout. The battery lasts an entire day and the charger is smart - no need to worry about over charging. It's all automatic. If you plug the cable in, the battery is digitally disconnected. We have other products in the pipeline that will allow more options and connectivity.

    @signalupproductions 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I'm curious about the built in battery.
    Eventually all batteries need replaced. Is that something the end user will be able to replace, or is it buried inside the case and has to be sent back when the battery won't hold a charge anymore.

    • @ModelTrainTechnology
      @ModelTrainTechnology  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

      The battery can be replaced by the customer. The battery has a plug inside to make this simple. 8 screws to remove the cover. Would take about 5 min tops with no special skills or equipment.

    Can I mount it under the layout?
    N Scale layout, track is on 3/4" plywood, so less than 5.5" to the bottom of the locmotives. How big a hole would I need to drill?

      A curve will shorten the distance between sensors relative to the train travel, thus, the reading will be off.
