Push button timer control for trolley

[Todd1962]

I have a trolley line on my N scale layout at our club. It has a Circuitron AR-2 Reversing circuit to control the back-and-forth movement. It works flawlessly. Now what I would like to do is make it interactive for guest when they visit the club. I want to have a push-button that will start the trolley and time out after approximately 2 minutes. This way they can feel like part of the action rather than just watch it go on it's own. It will also save wear and tear on the trolley. I went to the Traintastic museum in Gulfport, MS last week and they use this method for their layouts. I did get a picture of the circuit board they use and bought one but not having any luck getting it to work. And of course it comes with no instructions. See attached pics of circuit board. Does anyone know how to wire this board or has another idea how I can power the trolley?

Also this is DC powered and I am using a MRC Tech 2 controller. The throttle is set at about 35 on the scale. This is a good speed for the trolley.


Thanks for your help.
Todd

Neat, I can imagine a whole lot of applications for this widget in animation, lighting etcetera!

sorry late to the party but it looks like the question was answered anyway.
