Azatrax

Azatrax provides electronic control systems and components for model railroads, helping hobbyists automate train detection, signals, switches, and moving displays. Its infrared train detectors sense trains either reflectively from the roadbed or across the track, and can operate with room lights on or off. For DCC layouts, current-sensing block detectors monitor track occupancy without causing voltage loss.

The product range also includes controllers for grade-crossing signals, block and dwarf signal control circuits, and trackside signals with LED lights in several scales. Crossing equipment includes LED signals and movable gate arms, with controller options for different configurations and layouts that may expand over time. Azatrax also offers circuits for switch control and Tortoise motors, reversing-loop relays, power supplies, and exhibit controllers.

These controllers can run two or three trains automatically on a shared track, making them useful for educational displays and public exhibits. Based in Longmont, Colorado, Azatrax provides product information, installation guidance, support, and ordering resources for model railroad layout automation
