Yes, I run the accessories. The push buttons on my layout allow visitors, both kids and kids at heart, to operate the Lionel 1950s classics. Here is a video of my modern layout's nod to the vintage accessories. I added some sound enhancements as if Joe Bonanno were still alive today.

Outstanding video, TJ, your video is an inspiration to those of us who have operating accessories on our layouts.

I have been working for hours on the operating horse and cattle cars and their corals. Mine are finally working, but I still need to use my finger to get the horse and cattle from the coral into the car. I see that you have succeeded in getting yours to operate smoothly without using "the finger of God." LOL

Also, very nice sound effects in your video, TJ. Arnold
