-The BC3 is an automatic block control system otherwise known as SuperBloc (QV). It controls the speed of a model train depending on the occupation of the block ahead. If the block ahead is occupied the train will slow to a creep speed and stop at a designated point. Otherwise the train will accelerate to a preset speed. Manual control is also allowed for. Kits for the [[:kits:38|BC3]] and literature about it is available from MERG - TBs T33/0-20.\\

+Bell Signals are used as part of a block signalling protocol.
 The cadence of the Bell Signals were used to convey information. An example would be two bell rings would mean a train is entering a section and two rings followed by one ring may mean the train is clearing a section.
-Though there are some universal bell signals, different railroads at different times have had their own signaling schemes.
