-This demonstration [[exhibition_stand|cabinet]] contains an oval of track which is divided into 4 sections. Each of these is controlled by a BC3, MERG [[:kits:38|Kit 38]]. These are arranged for anticlockwise travel, if on entering a section the section in advance is occupied then the train will be brought to a halt. There are also 4 signals which reflect the status on the section in advance, these are driven by SD2s MERG :kit:36 +

 The traction for this demo is being converted to use 4 x ATC  Kit 45, made into one unit and configured as a four section "shuffle" system. The system detects when a train enters a section and stops the train for a short time until the section in front is clear.  The traction for this demo is being converted to use 4 x ATC  Kit 45, made into one unit and configured as a four section "shuffle" system. The system detects when a train enters a section and stops the train for a short time until the section in front is clear. 
 As this requires one section always to be empty, a four section shuffle can only have a maximum of three trains on the circle of track, each one occupying one section of the track. As this requires one section always to be empty, a four section shuffle can only have a maximum of three trains on the circle of track, each one occupying one section of the track.

  The signals will use the original SD2 boards (kit 36), by using a trigger taken from each section of the ATC system to indicate to the signals that a section is occupied.  The signals will use the original SD2 boards (kit 36), by using a trigger taken from each section of the ATC system to indicate to the signals that a section is occupied.
