(...) I played a bit with stopping a train at a station. I had a loop of track powered off from a normal speed regulator. One section of track next to the stop was isolated elecrically by putting tape over the rails before connecting them. I powered (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.trains)
