Possibly the cheapest way to add block occupancy detection to your DCC layout and integrate it with JMRI, it could save you hundreds!
You may want to watch my first two videos on building the Arduino sensor hub and adding sensors first as this builds on those.

I experimented a lot to find a cheap and reliable way of detecting locos and resistor wheel sets on stretches of track and I think this is possibly the best soluition if you don't mind a bit of soldering. It works out at around £3 for each sensor after paying to join MERG.
The final block detection kit was designed and supplied by MERG (www.merg.org.uk), amazing community of very helpful people.
