Sourcing Block Control Components

Hi all

I am looking to source some relays, bridge rectifiers, resistors, and capacitors to create control blocks for my conventional layout which runs post war equipment - nothing modern.  What I want is classic block control -- slow down a faster train behind a slower train while turning the  signal lights from red to green.  When I go to Digikey or other online supply houses I am intimidated as hell in terms of picking the right parts with the right specs - too many choices!!  I get the logic of how to install the circuits but I have no clue how to pick exactly the right parts that are the easiest to install (I am willing to pay up for ease of installation)

So my question - can someone recommend the exact part numbers for relays, bridge rectifiers, resistors and capacitors from a particular supply house?   Sorry to be so exacting but I do not want to drop a bunch of cash on the wrong stuff.

Many, many thanks for the help and for being part of the forum - as a relative new comer to the hobby it is a great source of information.
