Robert and I installed 8 new block detectors in August just before the Fair. We are using Team Digital BLOC D8 detectors. Each unit has detectors for 8 blocks. They use a sensor on board which one wire from each block is passed through and it detects the current when a train is in the block. In our case we looped the wire a couple times to increase the sensitivity. We're still working out a few kinks with regards to sensitivity and false detection but hopefully we'll work the bugs out soon.
