This is pretty easy to do but it is a cost that you may find hard to justify. LGB have modules etc that will let you do this as well you can connect up to a computer and have them run the layout for you.

This is not the best place to get advice on this go to LGB of America they are pretty knowledgable. No on on this forum except possibly Troy would have the knowledge

The LBG system was pretty impressive at the convention. A train stops when it moves onto a section, then starts again when the train ahead passes the rail switch.

You could look into realroad prdoucts at http://www.realroad.com/homepage.html The magic motorman may be just what you are looking for. They also have quite a few other options and products. An email to them describing what you are looking for would probably get you a pretty good answer or maybe some other ideas.
