LCS BPC2 Module
T
he BPC2 module is designed to be connected to track power blocks on your model railroad
layout. Blocks are isolated track sections modelers use to help control multiple trains on
the same layout. Real railroads often use blocks as well. Theirs don’t control power to the
trains, but do separate the railroad into separate districts to keep trains safely spaced. These
blocks are often marked by signals.
