Well first, can it be done? <br /> <br />I want a wye turnarround that ends with a passenger train backed into a station <br /> <br />Then I want it to wait a few minutes, Then leave the station. <br /> <br />I have found a collections of circuits and sensors and references to Snap Relays, and reversing loops but I'm getting a little dizzy from it all. <br /> <br />My goal is to have 2 layouts (each a seperat station area) seperated by a very long connecting layout (1 foot by 12 foot. like a bookshelf). One end I can do a reversing loop and have no problem with that. The other end needs to more or less represent Londons St. Pancras Station, so that means backing the train in. I guess I'm getting greedy, but I would love to be able to automate the layout to run the route one for the push of a button or continuously, pausing a few minutes at each of the stations. <br /> <br />So, has anyone done it? <br /> <br />Any help on the matter would be appreciated. <br /> <br />Cheers, <br />Chris
