This 4-part 2011 video shows the RR Concepts "StationMaster" in operation using S gauge trains, but it works with just about any gauge, as long as the current is DC current.
* This video shows "automatic timed station stops" for 1 train, and "automatic block control" to control 2 trains on the same loop.
* The stationmaster also does more advanced operations, not shown in this video.

A. ~~~~~~ CONTENTS: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Part 3/4 demos station stops using a block. The Stationmaster controls just the block part of the loop.

0:12 - DEMO 6: Simple timed station stop, with block.
1:58 - Program for Two (2) Laps
4:42 - DEMO 7: Two laps around loop before stopping
7:10 - Program for "Infinite Pause"
9:12 - DEMO 8: Two laps around loop, restart train by pushbutton
13:56 -Program for 1 Lap
15:66 -DEMO 9: One lap around loop, restart train by pushbutton.
18:10 - END of Part 3/4
