GARRETT76,
To get two trains to STOP and GO using the layout ultilizing the two turnouts would be quite a challenge as one would have to keep the following in mind:
First lets call one train "TRAIN A" and one train "TRAIN B"
- Both TRAIN A and TRAIN B would have to occupy a loop at the same time
- Both loops would need two STOP Sections
- TRAIN B would have to be positioned ready to exit the turnout
- TRAIN A would be moving and would have to STOP behind TRAIN B once it cleared the turnout and would have to START TRAIN B
- TRAIN B at some point would have to START TRAIN A and TRAIN A would have move and STOP before exiting the turnout
- TRAIN B would need to move across the layout and would need to STOP once it cleared the turnout and would need to START TRAIN A
- TRAIN A once moving would need to START TRAIN B
- TRAIN B would need to STOP before exiting the turnout
- Once TRAIN A cleared the turn out it would STOP and would have to START TRAIN B
- repeat repeat repeat
Not sure if I got this right, but this would be quite an undertaking and at the end of the day I'm not sure how to get done. All I can do is wish you luck. Below is my START and STOP layout. TWO trains traveling the same direction, stopping and starting each other.
