Good Day to all,
I am searching for a simple circuit to add to a battery powered shuttle (trolley) that will run in one direction for a brief time (<90 seconds), stop (pause) and then run in the other direction for a brief time (<90 seconds). The trolley will be powered by battery on a non powered metal G scale track. Does anyone know of a circuit diagram or even better a circuit currently for sale, that can accomplish this? I am trying to stay away from track mounted switches, magnets, or any other "sensors".
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

Maybe you could make a little program/circuit with a Picaxe or the like. This website has lots of info. about stuff like that: http://trainelectronics.com/index.htm .
Try Del Tappero's Critter controls, probably the enhanced one. He makes great stuff and a good guy to deal with.

Thank you for the information, I did go out to the site and the circuit is very appealing.
Thank you for the website info. If I do not find something pre-built, this is definitely an alternative.
Just curious, which of the websites are you referring to?
