Split Jaw Wireless Auto Shuttle / Reversing Unit (Auto-RU R4)

Description

The Split Jaw wireless auto reversing unit (Auto-RU R4) runs your trolley or train back and forth on its own, with complete hands-off operation. It’s the newest version of Split Jaw’s 5 amp self-adjusting shuttle, designed and made in the USA.

How it works

Version R4 uses wireless sensors. Attach a small magnet under your locomotive, and the magnet triggers the unit as the train passes. There are no diodes to install and no insulated sections to cut. The unit senses the ends of your line and self-adjusts, so the train slows realistically, creeps to a stop, pauses, and then heads back the other way.

Why garden railroaders like it

• Hands-off running: perfect for point-to-point lines, trolley runs and display layouts where you want trains moving while you host guests.
• Realistic motion: accelerating and decelerating control instead of an abrupt stop-and-reverse.
• 5 amp capacity: enough headroom for large scale locomotives, including many multi-motor units.
• Simple setup: wireless, magnet-triggered sensors mean less wiring along the track.

Good to know
