I would appreciate some help to achieve the following: Two vehicles on one loop. First vehicle travels the loop while second vehicle is stopped (off). First vehicle completes loop and stops. Stopping of vehicle one activates vehicle two to traverse the loop while vehicle one remains stopped. Vehicle two completes the loop and stops which activates vehicle one with the cycle continuously repeating. I am familiar with block systems using toggle switches but automating this is beyond my comprehension. Thanks in advance.

I did this with 2 trolleys once using spdt under track presdure switches. You need 3 blocks, 2 small ones and then the rest of the loop. Small block 1 has center rail piwer on a normally open relay. Car 1 sits on this block. Car 2 travels the big loop and enters short block 2 which has center rail off by a relay held open by the car in short block 1. When car 2 enters blick 2 it flips the relay for block 1 and that car exits short block 1 in to main loop. Once short blick 1 is vacant power is turned on by the relay to short block 2 and car 2 moved up to short block 1. Then it repeats. I came up with this when i was 15 yr old and might have a disgam.
