My memory of this is not perfect, Bob, but I seem to remember reading a long time ago in an Atlas wiring book about using one of their selector buttons (as you may know, there are 4 buttons on each block selector) to connect to another selector for a yard. I'm not suggesting you use Atlas components, but the same could be done with toggles on a layout map. You move your train into a special track between your main and the yard, and then a toggle hands off control to the yard engine, which is on a third power pack. I hope you can imagine what I'm talking about. I am fuzzy on it myself, but I know it's in the Atlas wiring book, and could be adapted to toggle control. It's actually a pretty neat idea, and let's the yard switcher work independently from the main line trains.
