WANTED: Kartrak/ACI Information
WANTED:
Any information, photos, or stories of the Sylvania/GTE Kartrak ACI system.
Consider this an informal announcement that I am in the final research phase of writing a reference guide detailing the Kartrak system. No release date or estimated date of completion is available at this time. I've already compiled a large amount of the information that can be found online.
I'm especially interested in advertisements, manuals, photos, and personal stories.

While the assembly is easy to figure out, there are a few unanswered question with regard to resistance and configuring the light properly on the decoder.

Experimenting with some N Scale singles slip switches today.
