Automatically Returning Trolley
Posted by starman on Friday, January 27, 2017 3:50 PM
On a separate shelf above my layout I have built a village, landscaped as a mountain top.  The village is about 15 feet long.  I want to run a trolley from one end of the village and back again, on a single track, that is not wired to any other track.  What do I need to install so the trolley will automatically run back and forth from one end of the line to the other without me having to do anything?  Thanks for your comments.

If you are using DCC, the above link will show you a product that will work.

I'm still trying to remember where I saw a similar product for DC control.

Found it.     https://www.azatrax.com/back-and-forth.html

Thanks, Chuck.  This is what I am looking for, only better!!  I am using DCC.  I will be ordering one of these and get my trolley running.
