Wireless version - Auto shuttle/reversing unit
Automatically shuttles your trolley/train back and forth. Designed and produced in the USA, the new Split Jaw 5 Amp Self-Adjusting Shuttle is an accelerating/decelerating back-and-forth reversing unit with complete hands-off operation. NEW for version R4: we have upgraded to wireless sensors. Just add a magnet under your loco, and that will trigger the RU. NO diodes involved.
This unit will sense the ends of the track and self-adjust to provide a very realisitic slowdown and then creep to a stop. The Reversing Shuttle has a robust 5 Amp capacity, so you can have a train with lights, sound and smoke going and still not overload it.
For outdoor use, we offer an optional weather-resistant enclosure. This enclosure is perfectly sized for the unit.
Included in the kit:
1 central unit
1 receiver unit
2 x wireless sensors, powered by 9V batteris (not included)
2 x "Sensor Shacks" (Holds Sensors and 9V battery - keeps rain off)
1 x Main unit Enclosure
Reversing Shuttle FAQ:
Q: How many wires will it take to hook up?
A: One pair from your track out terminals on your controller, another pair from the Reversiing Shuttle, to your track.
Q: How much power can it handle?
A: 5 amps DC draw. For comparison, an LGB trolley with lights on, draws about 1.2 Amps.
Q: How long of a track can I have?
A: Any length in which you have good continuous electrical connections. I.e., if your trains currently run well across the track planned for the shuttle, then installaing the shuttle will not change that. We have had customer reports of shelf and overhead layout runs over 100ft (30 meters) long.
