Is it possible to wire a doorbell button to an O Gauge UCS track in lew of the Lionel controller? I want to use one to trigger operating cars. Anybody know of a wiring diagram that shows how to do this? Thanks!

The wiring diagram is available out there online showing how the 2 button controller works. If you find the one that matches up to the track you have, I believe there is more than one type of UCS track, you can replicate the wiring easily enough.

I would look for a more robust button. Uncoupling magnets draw a lot of current.
