Hello, Can someone please point me in the right direction? How do I wire a point to point track section with an auto-reversing feature? In other words, I have a ten foot section of track. I would like the train (subway) to stop and auto reverse when reaching the end of each leg. Thanks, Mark

You would need a board that detects when the train reaches a predetermined location and then cycles the reverse sequence. Z stuff makes one. A defunct company called pocono mountain lines did as well. Search the forum for similar posts, if you think the pocono mt line board will work for you shoot me an email, I have a spare. For what it's worth ten feet is a short stretch for a subway. I use this on a 12 foot section with a single hopper and a tiny k line switcher.
Dallee makes several automatic back-forth modules. One is for use with e units, some have momentum feature. Instructions are linked on the page of the item.
I used the DC version one for a handcar, but I converted the handcar to DC.
Thank you very much. Very helpful.
