Q1 Does the trolley reverse? It is stated it runs on a loop.
Q2 What circuit stops the trolley?
Q3 what transformer is used?

Reversing:
These are bump-and-go trolleys but that feature is not used. It’s not needed when two trolleys are on a loop with one stop or for three trolleys on a larger loop with two stops. I did use that just as an example in starting this thread.
In truth, our track consists of two reversing loops connected by a long track connecting two areas on a 25’ x 25’ layout. So our trolleys don’t actually reverse but go back and forth on that long track because they turn around on the reversing loops.
Stop Circuit: (3 insulated outside rails and 1 wire)
There is a trolley stop on each reversing loop. They are track sections where both outside rails are insulted making them dead tracks. Trolleys start when one of these rails receives power as an approaching trolley runs over a single outside rail insulated track.
Transformer: 1 side of a Z4000 (Because it’s what we have available)
