Is cost/availability of the thermostat the issue?  If the part # is 132-44, the first couple hits on Google.

Perhaps there is yet another "modern part" as Aussteve says that is less expensive.

I'd think a "solid-state" timing circuit that performs the same function could be assembled for, say, $5 in parts but would involve working with small electronic components, soldering, etc.  If that's your interest I'd re-phrase the question as such in the Electrical Forum.

Do you have a part # or link to that AF part?  Can it be used in the Lionel station?  The soft-start capability is pretty clever and can be tricky to implement in a solid-state AC circuit.

No, I can't even remember the proper name for it at the moment, theyd operate thermaly, like a reverse of an automotive ballast resistor. I think it only takes like 3-4 seconds to reach max. output.

  There's also a resistor for bleeding power so the e-unit won't cycle.
