Is this a new product that is available or are you pitching the idea for a new product?
This could be HUGE for some of us. My Free-mo modules are required to be able to work with the Modular Signal System which has current detection as one of the layers. However, there are only two known current detectors that work with both DC and DCC. The RR Cirkit BOD-1 is a good $12 option but it will not work for Free-mo due to the reversible nature of the modules and the polarity sensitivity of the BOD-1 in DC mode. The Dallee DT is a perfect solution but at $30 a piece gets cost prohibitive for small modules.
If DC could be put on the rails that looked like DCC and worked with the near endless supply of DCC products that would be wonderful.

It is nothing more than an idea suggestion to Bill. My point is electrically speaking it would be relatively easy to do. Getting UL and CE approvals for commercial sale of a device is an entirely different matter. That's where PDC comes in.
Yeah, I too think it could be HUGE.

If somebody builds it I'll sell it. Getting it certified, that's not my cup of tea.

It won't be me! I am within spitting distance of retirement. After working my entire life retirement means retirement.

Tom,
I've also ordered my SmartFrog v5 (AP003) (30 of them) directly from ANE Model and it took 3 weeks to receive (Taiwan to Canada). I would suggest buying an extra unit or two while you're at it since ordering only one unit from Taiwan is not very cost efficient in case you need to replace one (which I didn't have to yet).

Why can't you use something like this to power your frogs? http://www.cabooseind.com/product-page/220s-sprung-w-contacts-165-travel-for-ho-and-n
