DEVICE FOR IDENTIFICATION OF THE VEHICLES IN A MODEL RAILWAY TRAIN SET WITH REMOTELY CONTROLLABLE COUPLING PAIRS

摘要

In order to create a system in the case of a model railway train which is composed of locomotives and waggons via remotely controllable coupling pairs (15, 16) by means of which, for remote control capability purposes, the sequence of the individual vehicles in the train as well as the location of a waggon in front of or behind a driving locomotive can be identified automatically, the invention proposes that a decoder (12, 13, 14) be arranged in all the vehicles in the train, that these be connected to one another by a data bus (10, 11), and that the capability be provided to subdivide the latter into two group areas, specifically into a group which is located in front of and a group which is located behind the locomotive, with the coupling pairs for pulling even long trains being stable, and being composed of an active coupling part and a corresponding mating coupling, each having a train hook in the form of a two-armed rocker lever.
