Hello, Lionel had an accessory that is a passenger station with a circuit that would open to stop the train in a block and a timer that would restore the power to that block. I don't remember the appropriate part number or the years that it was available.

Yes - this was 1920's electromechanical technology. Insulated section controlled a relay/heating element. when loco (e-unit locked in one direction) closed circuit, element heated up slowly, closing relay and powering center rail. Off it would go. Element cooled off before loco got back, so it did it again, and again...sort of a Twilight Zone thing, really .

Or something like that.

Wonder if anyone could handle it now, without software, safety recalls and lawyers? And Bluetooth.

if you get mth DCS there is a feature built in for PFA which are prerecorded voice n train talk like all aboard train coming into a town station will automatically speak and stop engine talk about 30 seconds n then you merely hit direction button on remote and train will automatically continue on!actually pretty cool feature !there are 4 sequences!
