Automatic Train Decelerator and Reverser

What It Is

The StationMaster / Reverser is a self -contained, track side module that can automatically slow-down, pause, and then gracefully accelerate your trains up to speed. The reversing feature allows back-and-forth operations with realism.

The StationMaster / Reverser can perform a self-adjusting reversing operation without sensors. If sensors will be used then the standard StationMaster is recommended because the self-adjusting deceleration feature is available. If in-between station stops will be done then the StationMaster/Reverser is the correct solution.

The Reverser has adjustments for decelerate time, pause time, and accelerate time. This will give you the most realistic operations possible for any length of track.

What It Can Do

The StationMaster / Reverser is the brains for all of these hookups:

For additional hookups with other RR-Concepts products please see the Track Hookups Web Page.

The StationMaster is designed for outdoor use if placed inside a Rubbermaid or similar container. This can easily be hidden under a rock, or inside a model building or station.

Features and Capabilities:

  • Two color LED indicators show what the train is doing
  • 10 AMP load capability.
  • State-of-the-art MOSFET, micro-controller, and surface-mount technology.
  • Full adjustments for DECELERATE, DELAY and ACCELERATE to accommodate any size railroad.
  • Input protection for incorrect hookups.
  • Auto sensing shutdown circuit protects electronics from accidental damage when short-circuit derails occur.
  • "Top Speed" adjustment available for fixed DC voltage sources.
  • Programmable output signal. This is for automatic control of electric turnouts using a YardMaster, or triggering anything else. (Station sound effects, signal lights, X-10 modules, another StationMaster, etc.)
  • Exact train stopping position so that every train can stop at exactly the same position.
  • Enhanced station stop time delays can be from 5 seconds to 30 minutes.
