Train Tech SD2 Smart Screen Twin Pack

OO Scale/ 1:76

Smart Screen is a real working animated screen in miniature which you can customise with your own messages to really bring your layout to life! The small display module has everything built inside so you only need to connect 2 wires to DC or DCC power to make it come alive.

The Smart Screen can display multiple screens which can be triggered by a range of different inputs including switches, DCC commands and even Track Sensors which can be used to show a different screen as a train passes over it.

Everything is contained in the Smart Screen so no complicated wiring or circuit boards - just connect 2 wires to a power source and go!

Dimensions are: 31mm Wide x 9.5mm High x 4.5mm Deep

Bring your station alive!

Mounting a Smart Screen on a platform or in a station can add a lot of realism.

You can change the displays at the touch of a button, or if you fit one or two Track Sensors next to your tracks it can show appropriate messages for trains arriving or departing completely automatically!

And if your layout is DCC you can automatically display different screens for the various routes your points are set to as trains leave the station... the possibilities are almost endless!?

Sometimes you may want to display several words or list the various stations your train is stopping at, but they wouldn’t normally fit on the screen. However Smart Screen is able to display long messages by scrolling them along the screen automatically - just like the real thing!

As well as mounting your Smart Screen on the Station you can also fit it inside a train. You can just connect it to a regular DC power feed to light it up, or if you are running your locomotives on DCC the Smart Screen has a built-in digital decoder which can be set to monitor the train direction and display a different destination or message automatically depending on its direction of travel!

Displays are now part of everyday life, so Smart Screens can be used on your layout in places other than trains and stations. They can help bring roads to life with changing screens and if you have a Faller Car System or similar you can automate the screens using magnetic reed switches under the road. You could also fit them in buses or bus stops, or use them in a Stadium to make your dream team scores come true!

Setting up your own message screens.

Smart Screens come preloaded with a demo display, but you can fully customise your own messages and screens. Although once set up the screen can be powered from DCC or DC, you need to use a DCC controller to set up your own screens and inputs. This is fully explained in the instructions and most DCC controllers will work, although controllers with easy to use function commands are best.

Note: Gaugemaster can undertake this task for you however there will be a cost involved. See the "Downloads" area for the set up form.
