The signal was introduced in 1994 and since then replaces older signal types on German railroads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/mattzobricks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4-1024x719.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mattzobricks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4-1024x719.png 1024w, https:\/\/mattzobricks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4-300x211.png 300w, https:\/\/mattzobricks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4-768x539.png 768w, https:\/\/mattzobricks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4-1536x1078.png 1536w, https:\/\/mattzobricks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-4.png 1929w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: WIkipedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Options<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The original signal has a lot of different options and additional indicators.

No printed parts are required for this signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional parts are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>LEDs (3mm) in different colours. Quantity and type depend on the options of the signal that you like to add to your signal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thin copper wire with black lace to power up the LEDs (diameter 0,15 mm).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Basic stuff like a wire board, cables, plugs and connectors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To equip the signal with lights, I have used 3mm LEDs in different colours. The wires are very thin, black copper wires used for model scale train layouts. The wires are led from the top of the signal through a pipe on the backside of the signal post. To prevent the LEDs from burning off and to save electrical power, you can add some resistors to limit the current through the LED. At a voltage of 3,3V, 120 Ohm should usually be a good value. Red LEDs usually require larger resistors than others. In question read the data sheet of your LEDs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The signal is automated with a MattzoLayoutController (MLC). The MLC receives commands from Rocrail and lights up the correct LEDs for the current signal aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find more details about the MLC <a href=\"https:\/\/mattzobricks.com\/automation\/mattzolayoutcontroller\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use the MLC with signals is described <a href=\"https:\/\/mattzobricks.com\/automation\/mattzolayoutcontroller\/mattzosignalcontroller\" type=\"page\" id=\"1221\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On this page, you find information about: Media I have created a video about light main signals: Deutsche Version: About the signal The signal was designed by Matthias Runte of MattzoBricks in 2020.
