We are happy to announce that Snowball Creek Electronics products are in stock and ready to ship. No tariffs for our USA address orders, and a lower shipping charge....or free on orders over $100.
If you are not aware of Snowball Creek Electronics, they offer items for LCC and DCC, with more exciting products coming soon.
The SMTC8 - it's a 8 turnout controller for Circuitron Tortoise and MTB motors. It's BOTH DCC and LCC so if you are not fully into LCC yet, no worries as it works on DCC. LED indicators on the board for turnout position; the SMTC8 remembers last position (when enabled) and can also be setup to line all motors in to a specific position at startup. Update firmware with JMRI.
Their Dual Auto-Sense Block Occupancy Detector is good for TWO blocks and it's "Smart". Auto-Sense reads the block and sets the baseline and threshold values - it's ultra sensitive. One loop of wire, that's it. Each block has two separate outputs. This allows one for input into signaling or LCC devices, and another for panel indicators.
We are offering quantity based pricing on the Dual Detectors and remember that each controls two blocks. When comparing to other similar products, the per-block price is lower...and smarter!
Lastly, the LCC Power Isolator with jumper, it's full assembled. (switch version and kit versions of both can be ordered for you)
Snowball Creek Electronics has shared some upcoming projects and we're excited to offer these to you, all shipped from our US based business so you avoid cross-border shipments and tariffs.
Look for an expanded line-up from them in the upcoming months. We're thrilled to bring this great product line to you.
