Hi All!
I have a situation that I hope someone can shed some light on for me.
I've made a 4' by 8' trolley layout with a station stop at both ends of the loop. With trolleys 1 and 2 stopped in the stations, a third trolley will continue to run and trigger trolley 1 out of the station, then stop at the station itself. Trolley 1 will run to the other end and trigger trolley 2. Trolley 2 runs back and triggers trolley 3, and so on.
At one end, I have the MTH Operating Platform (30-9107). I would like to have each trolley stopping trigger the operating platform into its other state - first passengers sitting on the bench, trolley stops and triggers the "boarding" passengers, next trolley stops and triggers the "return' of the passengers, etc. I do not want to use the rocker switch that is included and I have attempted to wire the Lionel 153R, but to no avail. The 153R will trigger the boarding but returns the passengers when the time setting expires.
Is there a way to wire this accessory to get the "toggling" effect (passengers disappear, then reappear, then disappear, etc.) as each trolley stops? I hope I have been clear with what I am after. I can include a video of the action if necessary.
Thanks,
Dennis
