Custom Auto Control Circuit for 3 Trains on 1 Loop, MUST See! (LGB,layout,set)

Description

AUTO CONTROL BOX to build the Ultimate G Scale High Action Layout!
Everything you need to turn 1 loop with siding, into 3 train automatic layout!  Included are Control Box, track sensors, wiring, loco magnets, necessary rail clamps, and more!
REQUIRED:  2.0 Amp or greater DC G scale Transformer with
auxiliary
18 VAC output. (16 VAC works on small layouts). The size transformer is dependent on your train engines, and the size of your layout.  Contact me if you're unsure if your transformer is suffcient, and if you require a transformer, please ask, I can add one for a bargain price.  The current and voltage is
dependent on the trains you run on your layout.
Note: You do not receive the trains, track, or transformer shown in the video or photos. A full list of what you'll receive is farther down in the description. However, if you need engines, rolling stock, and/or a transformer I can add one or anything you need for additional cost.
The Track photos depict some of the track sensors and power connections used with this custom Auto Control Board.

Please ask any questions you might have, I?m here to put your mind at ease and explain every part of this custom Auto Control Box.
What exactly is this "Auto Control Board" and what do you get?
This Box comes with much more than just the box.  It comes with everything you need to design, build, and operate a 3 trains automatically on a single loop of G scale track, with 1 siding. You will also receive full
instructions on how to assemble and operate a layout.  Plus, design recommendations and tips to make the layout work flawlessly, and tips on building larger layouts using this custom designed Auto Control Board.
A full parts list is farther down in the description. You won't be disappointed with the performance and reliability of this auto control train circuit!
Some features of this 3 train Auto Control Board:
- A layout with the Auto Control Board will run 3 TRAINS at once on a single loop of G scale track (with one siding), automatically.
- The Auto Control Board circuit allows full 3 train operation, or 2 different 2 train modes of operation, and single train operation as well.  It features slowdown and startup track sections with variable speeds (please see photos of Auto-Controls box).  When you use single train operation mode, a second
train can wait on siding,
it
does not need to be moved.  This is a
custom circuit, on a board, that I built. This circuit board has 12 connections including power to 4 different "blocks" on the layout,
wires to
track sensors (included), and
wires to a
switch machine.
P
lease ask any questions you might have about this unique train control circuit.
Three trains running on a compact G scale layout is a sight to behold, and will entertain kids and train enthusiasts!  I've demo'd
this circuit at model train clubs and members are impressed, and usually have big smiles on their faces. My kids have really enjoyed these layouts over the years. In the spring of 2018 and 2019 I ran a larger version of this Auto-Controls circuit at a Train Show, and received dozens of wonderful comments about the impressive operation of the layout.  See the video above!
I've now built several of these circuits, due to demand and interest after seeing my layout.  In addition, I've been a collector and hobbyist of model trains, mostly G-scale trains, for over 13 years.  The Auto Control
circuits
have given much joy to my kids, and other children and adults when I've built layouts to demonstrate.
Therefore, I've decided to build a few of these custom Auto Control circuits, that all model train enthusiasts enjoy tremendously.
