Well, it could. However, probably a better choice for an easy install would be one of the relay based models with a keybob remote, they're only a couple bucks on eBay as well.
eBay: 253412786388, $3.81 shipped free.

I discovered the 4 relay version of these a few years ago.

for trains, I've set them up to:

- trigger sound in my sound car designs

- trigger a helicopter car to launch anywhere on the layout

- trigger a bump n go trolley to make it work "magically" with kids

- trigger accessories on the layout

non train? I use 'em for:

cheap garage door remote

car power door lock additional transmitters

etc.

On eBay, one of the sellers has a 2 relay unit that is a bit better....it can be powered with 12-24v DC or AC.... that makes 'em O gauge powered with no additional electronics!
