The Digitrax SHABC is a complete turnout signalling kit for HO scale. A turnout needs three signals to be done properly - a dual-head mast facing the points that can show both routes, and single-head masts covering each leg beyond - and that is exactly what is in the box, along with the mounting board, plugs and hardware. Current-limiting resistors are already fitted.

Features
Everything for one turnout signal plant - three signals, mast plugs, spacers and screws in one box.
Dual-head A signal to show both the straight and diverging routes at the points, plus B and C single heads for each leg.
Plug and play 10-pin connectors so signals lift out when you are ballasting or working on scenery.
Current-setting resistors built into the board - nothing to calculate, nothing to solder.
Pads are provided to attach any signal head to the mast base if you want to mix in other manufacturers.
Intended for use with the Digitrax SE8C signal decoder.

FAQ
What is the difference between this and a mainline kit?A turnout needs three signals, not two: a dual-head A mast protecting the points and showing both routes, plus single-head B and C masts for each leg beyond. A mainline kit such as the SH2AB only covers plain double track.
Do I need anything else to make the signals work?Yes - a signal decoder to drive the aspects (the SE8C is the intended partner), cabling to reach the masts such as the SDCK kit, and some form of block occupancy detection.
Do I need to add resistors?No. Current-setting resistors are already on the mounting board, so there is no resistor maths and no risk of over-driving an LED.
Can I mix in signal heads from other makers?Pads are provided on the mast base so you can attach other signal heads if you want a specific prototype. The plug arrangement and resistor board are designed around the Digitrax SE8C.
