Welcome Steve to the RUclips world. Suggestion, links to the resistors and conductive paint would be helpful to many who want to duplicate exactly what you did. I know a simple bla ba bla google search…
Howdy! Thank you for the excellent suggestion! I had intended to do that, but as per the normal for me I got distracted and never got back to it lol. I will be updating the description with links in the near future. Thanks for tuning in! 🤠
@kiwibjg well, if you wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it. I have a split system with limited capabilities, so my detection system would be strictly set up for D.C.
A book from Peter J Thorne, 34 New Electronic Projects for Model Railroaders shows him using a resistor and building a block detector. It is cheaper today to just buy the detector instead of build one.

Hi Steve 👋 Man...GREAT tutorial ...well done !! 👍 Sub...#194 😁
Very good information Cowboy Steve.
Thank you good sir! 🤠
Thanks Steve for the video. I have all the stuff and maybe this video will get me going. Lol.
Howdy Mike! I hear ya... I have bunches of projects like this stacking up. Good thing winter is coming 😁 Thanks for watching 🤠
Very cool Steve. Great tutorial
Thanks Dave!
Some old DCC systems put AC on the rails and the change over happens in the decoder
I find the conductive glue doesn't work very well over the long run and if you try to whether the wheel sets you're really in trouble
Great tutorial Steve! Are you taking orders for those who don't have the time to dedicate to installing resistors to wheels etc? - Jason
Thanks for watching Jason! And sure thing - if you need some done I'll be happy to help out. I'll send you a note on FB
You never mentioned the software and hardware used for the block detection

I know it was probably pretty boring for you but thanks for watching!! 🤠
So, bottom line is that this application is for DCC only?
No. Same principle for DC and DCC. There are occupancy detectors available for both systems.
Thanks for answering because I honestly didn't know... lol!
