When the train crosses the trip with the green wire attached, the sema-
phore arm will go up, the green light will show and the controlled section
will be alive.
When the train crosses the trip with the red wire attached, the sema-
phore arm will go down, the red light will show and the controlled section
will be dead.
If you are operating 2 trains on the track the one train will stand in the
controlled section until the other train throws the arm up, thus forming a con-
trolled block system to protect your trains.

LOCKOUT ELIMINATOR
This unit is designed to supply
a
very low voltage to a normally dead
block in the track, which enables the locomotive to stop at the desired location
and start in the same direction without locking the remote control unit in
an
inoperative position.
This unit is to be used with the
No.
761 Semaphore, and the
No.
755
Talking Stations or
No.
758 “Sam” the Semaphore Man, which were built
without a resistor unit in them.
Since each of the above items use
a
dead block system to stop a train, the
hook up in each case is the same.
