Hotbox Detectors - by Jerry (SMMDigital) Conaway

These are now part of the RCAP Project.

Description

SMM HotBoxDetector

 

Dragging Equipment / Hotbox Detectors for Railworks Train Simulator Version 1 – For use with 3DTrains ScaleRail® Track System.

One of the dangers from the beginning of railroading was pieces of equipment or loads falling onto and being dragged down the track, and journal boxes or axle bearings that became overheated to the point of failure. These events can have catastrophic consequences for trains that are moving at high speeds. This is the reason for the advent of the Dragging Equipment and Hotbox Detectors. These electro-mechanical detectors provide trains crews and dispatch with information on the status of each train that passes by so that in the event of an emergency, the train can be stopped before disaster strikes.

 The Models

 This model consist of two pieces. First, there is the static track piece. This consists of hotbox/journal detectors (the ir photo eyes), magnetic wheel detectors (for counting axles), and a dragging equipment detector. The second piece is the electronics control cabinet. This cabinet comes in two version – static and “talking”. The static version just sits near the tracks. The talking version has a detector call-out for the end of passing trains. The call-outs are as follows:

 CSX Generic  Norfolk Southern Generic  BNSF Generic  Union Pacific Generic  Kansas City Southern Generic  Union Pacific actual (3 different versions) - detector sounds by Michael Gilmore ("BS RR CO")  End User Customizable.

 All included models have snow textures, and the light on the cabinet is lit at night.

 Complete instructions on how to place these assets is contained in the Asset Manual, located in the Railworks/Manuals/SMM folder.
