Joy Stick Controlled Throttle information -  This page presents a new version of the 'Modernized "Toy" Throttle' circuit that is shown on the 'Various Transistor Throttles' page at this site.  This version was specifically design to be used by a handicapped person and is controlled by a single axis joy stick that operates microswitches at each end of its arc of travel. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
L.M.R.G. Incline Railway System -  The drawings and photos below are for an operating incline railway that was built by the London Model Railroad Group for its 'O' scale model railway club located at London, Ontario, Canada.  This is a single car model loosely based on a double car incline that operated at Port Stanley, Ontario. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Laser Pointer Train Detector -  This train detector makes use of hand held laser pointer devices that are widely available to detect trains over long distances. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
LED Bargraph Optical Tachometer -  For the electric R/C enthusiast, a tachometer can be a very useful piece of equipment. When I first built this tach back in 1995, it was essential, as there were very few off-the-shelf electric R/C power systems that just worked….. [Stefan Vorketter]
LED Out Circuits For Tortoise Switch Machines -  Circuit for model railroad trains…. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
LED Traffic Lights -  The LED traffic Light circuit controls 6 LEDs (red, yellow and green) for both north/south directions and east/west directions. The timing sequence is generated using a CMOS 4017 decade counter and a 555 timer. Counter outputs 1 through 4 are wire ORed using 4 diodes so that the (Red, North/South) and (Green, East/West) LEDs will be on during....[Bill Bowden]
LED-Current Limiting Resistor Calculator -  The calculators on this page can be used to find current limiting resistors and currents for Light Emitting Diodes.  The first calculator determines the resistance for a desired LED current while the second calculates the current for a given resistance. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
LEGO® RCX Brick Rechargeable Battery Tester -  The circuit on this page is for a rechargeable battery tester using a LEGO® RCX Brick to gather voltage verses time data and then upload the data to a PC using the ROBOLAB Software. [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
LEGO® RCX Brick Voltage Recorder -  The images shown on this page show circuits that can used to measure and record with a LEGO® RCX Brick that comes with the LEGO® MINDSTORMS and LEGO® ROBOLAB robotics sets [from Rob Paisley's Model Train web site]
Level Crossing Lights -  Every model railway has a place where road and rail meet, and when it does, some form of warning is needed. Flashing lights work well, but something is needed to drive them. And that is where this circuit comes in. All it does is flash lights and it is so simple anyone could build it!....(design added 10/06)
Light Activated Detector Circuit (LM393/LM555) -  This page shows three circuits for using the 555 timer IC as a photocell controlled train detector.    The circuit is shown driving light emitting diodes but any load of less than 200 milliamps could be used…..Circuit for model railroad trains….
