It's possible that there's a smartphone app that gives you precise key-winding diagrams to allow the trains to stop precisely at the next station on the layout. Or you could do what the old Brits did on their clockwork timetables and just draw it on a sheet of paper.

 But then I would have to purchase a smart phone and relocate to an area where it would work as well as commit myself to a 2 year contract with a provider. 

 Thank You, but No Thank You!

Doing it the Brit's way would negate the need for the "updated technology",

but it's way too anal for me.
