ON THE WORKBENCH
George Dent looks at the new products to land on his workbench this month
MAGNETIC POLE SENSOR
ANY GAUGE
The HES120 pole sensitive magnetic sensor can sense the proximity of a north or south pole magnet, reacting accordingly to switch LEDs, relays or even point motors. Designed to be fitted beneath the tracks, with the sensor protruding into a gap between sleepers, magnets installed to locomotives and rolling stock will trigger the sensor. These will be ideal for use with mimic displays or automated control and quantity discounts are available. It works with baseboards up to 20mm thick.
