That seems exactly like the solution I'm looking for. They don't ship to Hawaii, but I found someone else that does thanks! I'll report back here on the results.
Question now since I bought 4 of these delay timers. How exactly do I do 12v DC? Do I need a battery or can like a AC adapter be used or some converter to go form AC to 12v DC? I was hoping I could just use the ACC power the guys setup for everyone to use from an old ZW.
Also I thought about how I wanted to delay the automation on the layout from earlier. Now I want to only delay the power going into the blocks where the locomotives are deploying from when those specific sections are activated on the relay. I found a problem with my solution earlier and thought of a way to correct it because if I delay it from the switch where its arriving from the arriving train will just run away with the departing train because the block it arrives on is being delayed from turning off too. I want to narrow my windows of error for the arriving locomotives since they are all so different in age, size, and technology.
If everything is activates properly just like the video and I only delay the block where the locomotives departs from I'll be all good. Hopefully there is an item for it. I think guys are getting excited to run all the trains to start breaking them in since they're starting to oil some of them. 
Thanks!
