If you don't do that, it is a conventional piece of equipment and is triggered by a conventional bell button or a conventional operating track section.
Thanks Bob for reiterating your suggestion. However I wanted to trigger the caboose without purchasing additional boards and remotes. The hobby is as expensive enough as it is.
Selecting TR and hitting bell/horn button is as free and simple as it gets.
