Hi Tom, The bp loops are pretty much just an SO-239 and the matching metal loop if you wanted to build some. I probably have diagram'd out the demensions of both the loops and bpbr probes if you end up having to "roll your own".
Contact the Railroad to see if you can find a warm body to work with. The remote controls boxes have an interesting failsafe to prevent runaway locos. Re-synce of the control boxes can be cumbersome with distant yard located engines so maybe working with them to avoid same frequency problems might save everyone serious travel time. Some of the control boxes I've seen have frequency agile settings. Just as a tongue in cheek comment... you could operate your own box and play train-set with the real deal. cheers, skipp > "tgundo2003" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1.
