...It’s just as Elementdude shows in the beginning of this thread.
That makes things a lot easier! I figure he can provide specifics for wiring, components used, etc..
I foresee some additional discussion about relay voltages. Many/most delay timer relay modules operate on DC voltage - such as 12V DC. To operate these DC relay modules in an O-gauge AC voltage environment requires some forethought.
As mentioned earlier, if you end up trying the voltage-dropping method such as using bridge-rectifiers it can substitute directly into the multiple-transformer method. Even if for DIY curiosity, it doesn't cost much to cobble together a few 50-cent or $1 bridge rectifiers to experiment.
Likewise, from what I can tell the DZ-1008 relay (no time delay) is about $15. Yet the time-delay relay proposed earlier in this thread was less than $3. If you have time and a dash of DIY persistence, you can typically save some coin applying low-cost general purpose electronic modules (often from high-volume automotive applications) rather than purpose-built train modules. Matters like this is where the OGR Electronic forum shines!
