unable to locate “END OF TRAINS DEVISE” in O guage,QUESTION FOR TIM<>could i use one put out by HO,I BELEIVE TERM.,HOBBIES HAS ONE,set same up with a battery pack,instead of track power??thanks… VINCENT
Vincent,
TrainAmerica Studios makes one. I’m looking at their catalog right now. It comes in red or yellow for $19.95, model nos. FRED-1000 (red) and FYED-1000 (yellow). Website is TAStudios.com, phone is 330-533-7181. You need to get a pickup roller separately and the circuit board mounts inside the freight car.
Dallee Electronics also has one listed on its website (I think it is www.dallee.com) and there are probably 2 or 3 other companies that make them for O-gauge 3 rail trains, but I can’t think of the names off the top of my head.
The battery powered light would work as well in any gauge.

Hi Vincent,
Nice to hear from you again. I agree with Neil, the battery powered HO one should work. I was not aware of the TrainAmerica O scale one. TrainAmerica make some nice electronic projects for 3-rail O gauge. It is probably worth checking out.
