This starter set consists of modules with a “Starter Set” configuration which are pre-installed in locomotives and turnouts.

CTC parts with configuration:

Additional necessary parts

Starter-Set with Configured CTC Modules Installed in Locomotives and Turnouts

The following describes the construction and commissioning of a model railway with CTC control. It is assumed that a starter-set with CTC modules installed in locomotives and turnouts is available.

The details of the turnout module can be found here: CTC-turnout module.

Each of the turnout modules is connected as shown in the following sketch:

  • to Track-A/B the power supply for the turnout module,
  • to W1 the turnout drive,
  • to W2 the drive for the signal
  • to IR1 a balise installed in the track, here referred to as DA1 and
  • to IR2 a balise installed in the track, here referred to as DA2.

Wiring Turnout, Signal, IR-Balise

The track system is built according to this sketch.

The fully assembled system with the locomotives looks like this:
