Push button locmotive motion?

In many locations I have seen things where you push a button and the engine runs in a loop and stops. I would possibly want this for our club layout and wondering how simple this would be to set up. Could it be set up with DCC or some other methods?

Sunday was Ops here on the BNML. This is a brief summary of the day.

Long time MRH Forum Member Rico R. and MRH Lurker Ian L. made their way down to my place for a visit and Ops. Rico and I had been talking about getting together since January and the stars aligned for Sunday. Rico lives about 2 hours away.

Rebuild has started

I have started the 5 year plan wink. During my 2 week vacation the first of October I was able to clear & sheet rock a 12 x 13 area next to the existing layout. I have been able in the last three weeks on and off to complete bench work & shelving on the north wall of this area. I will post progress every month or so.

A Little Progress on O Scale Coon Gap Sawmill Scratchbuild

Roof and foundation on load out building coming together.  Cut more lumber today but still need to run it thru thickness sander before it becomes board and batten siding.  I have embossed aged brick paper on order for the foundation.

Cleveland & Eastern RR - Dec 2015 update

I try to gather recent on going construction progress on my layout in this blog here.

While I was busy with other tasks on the railroad, I managed to get my focus on finishing the first section of the Cleveland & Eastern RR - Elizabeth Oaks.

There are several project waiting to be done. Among these I want to discard the "out-of-the-box" East-Grain Mill and replace the two Cornerstone buildings with one scratch built mill complex.

Photos below show the mock-up building

Installing RailPro in a pair of Athearn DCC Ready Genesis GP38-2W's

I threw RailPro modules into my 2 GP38-2W's yesterday to get them onto the layout for an op session today. There was no speaker enclosure in these models so I skipped the sound.

That bothered me something terrible - so today I ripped them apart and did it right!

The details of the installation are in the first comment.

Building a Nscale laser kit

Hello,

This is my second blog; some  of us now  my first about a Nscale high lift coal dumper which is a little bit slow down because of some special design piece whith CAD and the wait  of the design from a friend.

So because I can't stop to build  something I started this new project, a  N scale Architect laser kit; this is their LONG VALLEY LUMBER kit.
