Thanks for the explanation. When we first began this conversation I would likely not have understood the expiation, but after working on this I do.
Regarding the stations, there will be three. One post-war lighted fright station, one small Rail King version of the traditional Lionel station (both lit with the little bulbs), and the third, Menard’s “Melrose Park Station which is lit with 10 LEDs. I had not imagined that their would be a way to tie the Menards station into the trolley arrival departure schedule.
The “wall watt” power source is not a problem as I have three different power strips located at various locations under the table for other Menards structures and some Christmas Village style structures in the mountain ski village.
However, I would like to confirm that I can use the traditional isolated (or insulated?) track for one of the traditional Lionel structures (one is to be located in a suburban area where the on off would be more obvious.
But if that could be established with the little Menards station, the effect would be dramatic! The station operates on a 4.5 volt power source, drawing about 110 mA. I have the necessary power source, but I’m certainly interested in the possibility you raise.
