optional Sensor Board is designed to provide a secure mount
for the pair of sensors provided with each Receiver.

Installation Service |
| While the
installation of sensor and receiver in a locomotive is not an
unduly
difficult task. However, at times it does require a
little ingenuity in smaller engines and especially in steam
locomotives. Therefore, you may prefer to have someone
else do the installation for you.
See the Installation Service
page for details of third parties willing to provide this
service. |
