Interactive Train Display?

Many of you in this hobby are faced with what seems like a simple project. You want to setup a train display for the public, often children, and you want them to be able to interact with the train. The sign reads "Press the button to run the train". But how do you make that happen?

We have just made that a bit easier for TrackSide R/C users! Two wires from our Interactive Display Remote to a momentary push-button. Press the button and the train accelerates slowly to running speed and continues to run for a programmed amount of time (30 secs, ​1, 3, 5, or 10 minutes), then stops. We supply the board. You mount it in a box along with a momentary push-button of your choice. Securely mount the box in the appropriate location and you are all set. Or if you prefer, we can do it for you. Just contact us.

There are no wires between the box and the TrackSide R/C. A supervisor can still intervene if needed using the standard TrackSide R/C transmitter to disable the button and take full control of the train.
