I am looking for the article that appeared in OGR. The topic was building a special control panel for your grandchildren to use when they visited and wanted to help you control the trains and accessories. It specifically was designed to operate selected accessories. I have look in the magazines I have and I have not been able to locate it. Does anyone know when this article was published in OGR?

Conventional control system designed for operation by children.
I have added an optional control system to my layout that can be safely used by children. This system bypasses my DCS controller completely.
It can be used with either the LionChief remote control trains or conventional transformer control of Lionel and Williams engines. In either case I limit the voltage applied to the track to 10 volts maximum. I also have a control panel that allows operation of various operating accessories by use of large push buttons. All accessories are placed on a "timeout" timer system.
Not sure how that post helps the OP locate the article in question. I think he understands the basic idea.
