NightScope™ Infrared Detectors sense approaching trains and activate this double track road crossing on John Parker's Fall River Division. The Infrared Detector Applications Guide shows how to use NightScope™ Infrared Detectors with a wide variety of model railroad electronics. (Photo courtesy of John Parker)

HotShot™ Trackside Speedometer displays the scale speed of passing trains (3 MPH - 400 MPH) in large bright red digits. Adapts easily to KPH.
If engineers exceed the set Speed Limit, their speed will flash and an alarm will sound. There's no hiding from this railroad speed trap!
A single button push reports last train speed, train count for session, high and average speed for session, and the all time high speed record.
Mounted on a fascia faceplate, HotShot™ Trackside Speedometer includes Photo Sensors for typical room lighting — dim light requires 2 NightScope™ IR Detectors (sold separately).
The TrainBoss™ Talking Defect Detector speaks and displays 6 types of defect alarms for passing trains with the probability you assign. The Talking Detector also reports axle count, train speed and length, and temperature — just like automated detectors on the prototype. Or if you prefer, listen to the rear trainmen report defects and speeding.
With two display modes, the WeighStation™ Track Scale emulates track scales of all eras. WeighStation™ Track Scales realistically display weight when a railcar moves onto the scale track. Weight varies from car to car within a user-defined range.
