Is this like what Dean did for our last VLC layout? We had 2 passenger
trains running on the same outer loop - one just went round and round, but
the other one (Hogwarts Express) was switched out to an alternate route
where it stopped at Hogsmeade Station, then continued and rejoined the main
loop. IIRC the Hogwarts Express was also auto-switched to a different
platform in the main passenger station than all the other passenger trains
(platform 9 3/4 of course!) All this was RCX-controlled.
