One of our railroad friends bought some of these clever DCC Flag Men and sent a few over for our layout. They are small circuit boards with a 1/4 ounce weight that are positioned on your track to protect the rear of your train during switching maneuvers. Two copper contacts on the bottom of the board pick up track power, causing the LED held by the flagman to illuminate. A neat idea that adds additional realism to operations. They also double as a power tester.
