Need Advice non-looping track
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, November 21, 2002 12:30 PM
OK. I have little to no idea what I'm doing. I want to put a display up that is one track, about 25' long, end to end with a 22 degree curve at one point. The train or trolley would stop at either end briefly and then reverse back the other way. That's it. It is for a ledge display in my office. Any ideas? Scale preferably HO or smaller. Thanks in advance. Emails welcome to remarkability@aol.com Mark H.

Check the Walthers catalog http://www.walthers.com/

Manufacturer search for

Circutron

They have a circuit that will enable you to run that train or trolley back and forth on that one piece of track.

HO or N scale doesn't matter.

Mark,
Dailee Electronics offers an automatic reversing unit, also. They regulerly advertise in the hobby magazines, but they are probably listed in the Walthers catalogue also. I believe these have a variable delay on the reversing cycle.
