Thanks for sharing!! Great videos!!!!!!!!!!!! Your application of this old technique with a figure eight set-up is an excellent way to duplicate the Marx "twin train" technique, without relays!!!!!

Yeah, that occurred to me as well, Really, the only missing feature would be the loss of signal control without a relay -- you could set it up so a green (or red the other direction) light would go on whenever the stop section was re-powered, but I haven't been able to think of a way to change colors in a given direction without a relay. Ah, well, I already built the relay version -- in fact, I just scratch-built and added a fence around the relay's location:

Here's the near-final version, with added signage (needs only a few workmen, to justify the open gate!):
