Digitrax® BDL16 Occupancy Detector

This is a 16 block Occupancy detector. I bought it and the DS54s and the PM4s to automate a staging yard. I'll post yard photos at some point in the future.

This BDL16 is unused and has been returned to its original packaging after the photo was taken. It has a manual, a special mounting instructions addendum, and an LT5 Detection Tester (on right).

Digitrax LT5 Detection Tester

A pdf version of the manual is here. This model has been replaced twice. First with BDL162 and then BDL168. The product information page is here for the model BDL168.

I don't have the original price of this item, but the replacements sold for $125.00 and $149.99 respectively.

Digitrax® BD-1 Block Occupancy Detector for use with LocoNet

SOLD

I have two of these. Neither is used, though one was removed from the package for a better photo.


These are used to indicate when a train has traveled into a block a then throw switches with the DS54. Or it can be used with a reversing loop section for occupancy signals.


Digitrax has a pdf here and it is the same as the card you see in the image above.


The current MSRP is $9.95 each, thought I paid only  $9.25 each for my two.

Digitrax® PS515 15VAC 5 AMP Power Supply

I've got two of these powerful 15 Volt 5 Amp power supplies from Digitrax. One is opened, see photo above, and the 2nd is still boxed, though the box looks rather rough.

They are overload protected. If you short your track or try to draw too much current they will shut themselves off to protect your decoders and other electronics. Just unplug them for 60 seconds and then plug them in again to reset them.

The original price on one of these on 15 April, 2000 was $45.95. The current MSRP is $49.95 and can be found on Digitrax' site here.

Arnold Caboose

This little guy is in sad shape. It is missing one axel and I don't have any spares to fit it. And the trucks are constructed in such a way that I can't slip on another set with my spares. The end railings are broke. Truck mounted rapido style couplers. Unboxed.

Bachman B&O F unit

I've got no idea where I got this beat up unit. No box. No rear coupler. No spring in the front coupler pocket. No horns on top. Just sad.

Woodland Scenics Foam Landscape Material

Two sets of Woodland Scenics foam building bases. 

The Subterrain foam creates gentle slopes for roadbed.

The Sheets are 4/8", 3/8", and 2/8" in thickness. I've also got other pieces of foam that go along with these sets.

Car Weight Indicator and Coupler Height Gauge

This is a neat little gadget. Place the end of the car at the line marked 'Car End'. then look at the opposite end of the car. The number below that is the total weight that the car should be when measured in ounces.

The coupler height gauge snaps onto the track and gives you a reference point for mounting magne-matic couplers. Mine is marked item 1055, but the current item number seems to be "988 00 032" and its MSRP is now $9.95.


My set is in the bag I bought it in and includes an instruction sheet. It was manufactured by “Model Train Design, 222 Louise Dr., Newport News, VA 23601”

Both are easy to use.

The original price listed for the set was $15.50.

0-4-0

This is a cute little 0-4-0. It was given to me as a gift about 35 years ago. I remember it doing a decent job, thought it doesn't have much traction for going up inclices because it is reasonably light weight.

It has absolutely no markings. Power pickup is from the tender wheels. The rear coupler is a rapido style. The front coupler looks more realistic, but I don't recall if it mates with a modern knuckle style coupler.

Roundhouse Products 52' N&W 73 Ton Gondola

Definitely the nicest model of the five here. This one has a cast metal frame that the plastic body fits over. Thus it is nicely weighted -- it rolls well on my laptop as I write this. 

A 13 rib design marked as constructed in April of 1974 makes this model decades newer than the others on this page. Boxed with plastic wheels and rapido style couplers. 

Road Number:

N&W 97194

Price on box is $4.95. Online I've seen prices between $4.75 and $6.00 for this model.

Various Tank Cars

Dow Chemical Tank Car

Model Power Santa Fe GP-40

Yep, the standard locomotive that everyone seems to have. Despite the picture showing color variations, these are nearly identical models. However, the one on the right is missing its plastic windshields. Both are in their original boxes. But I replaced their back couplers with short knuckle couplers so that they would couple closer.

Found another copy of the same locomotive. I didn't even collect anything Sante Fe. This copy is missing the front coupler.

I have three of these models. It is a discontinued model. All are boxed and all have rapido style couplers. All are in original boxes. They are DCC ready with a circuit board at the top of the chassies.

Road Numbers:

NS 8667, Spectrum 85054, Missing front coupler
NS 8668, Spectrum 85062

Atlas SD-60

5 SD-60 Locomotives


I have 5 SD-60 locomotives and they are definitely some of the nicer equipment in my collection. Their are modifications to some of these units too. Except for 1, all have Rapido style couplers. The three with road numbers have Lenz decoders as shipped by Atlas. The three without road numbers are decoder ready.

Road Numbers:

NS 6603, Atlas 49113, Lenz decoder equipped, original box, but with Magne-Matic couplers
NS 6603, Atlas 49113, Lenz decoder equipped, replacement box
NS 6634, Atlas 49114, Lenz decoder equipped, original box
unmarked, Atlas 49018, original box
unmarked, Atlas 49018, original box

The price on the box for the decoder equipped models was $94.75. The decoder ready versions were not marked. A recent hunt online showed the decoder versions at $99.95 and the non-decoder version at $89.95.
