Hello trolley operators .
Old school Lionel has the reverse lever low to the track ..so it can hit a track trip and reverse ..small little device ( no electronics) . There may be a learning curve to get the right velocity between crashing through and and too slow to properly fully throw the lever. No doubt neck injuries and lawsuits may be filed by riders of your trolley from the accompanying whip lash .
Attached illustration Lionel catalog 1909 ...they did change it a bit over the years ... a well placed stick would do the same trick .
Unknown if the modern era reproduction trolleys have the same reverse mechanism
Cheers Carey
