I've been playing around with the end of track stoppers but have yet to
come up with something that works.

I'd like to hear what other people/groups have come up with.

I have the 4553 train wash but find all the impact is on the magnet
coupler.
I'd like something softer that could take a bit more impact.

Any ideas?


Not 100% related to this post, but I've been think of somehow getting a
train do the following when it reaches the end of a line:

1. Slow Down
2. Stop
3. Reverse

Has anyone been able to do this?
