Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of track signal lamps, in particular to a track signal lamp and an O-scale train model. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the relevant art, "O scale" generally refers to the dimensional ratio of model trains or model construction, in which 1 unit of real-world length corresponds to 48 units of length in the model. This scale is commonly used in model construction, especially train models, to ensure that the size relationship between the model and the real object remains consistent. For example, if a real train car is 48 feet long, then the length of a model train car in O scale will be 1 foot. This scale is very popular among model enthusiasts because it allows them to create models large enough to show details without being too large to handle or display.

[0003] In the existing technology, track signal lights in O-scale train models often rely on manpower to control the state changes of the signal lights, lacking the intelligent decision-making ability to automatically adjust the signal light logic according to real-time operating conditions, and are not intelligent enough.
