Perfect modern Inglenook (with GP10!)

I ran across this wonderful video of Chicagojoe28’s showing operations on the Chicago Terminal railroad. 

This is a modern Inglenook configuration that would provide a lot of operating possibilities in a very small layout space. Since there is a current thread talking about smaller layouts, I thought this would be interesting to discuss on its own thread.

Apr 2016-4 - Notch 8: Installing freight car ladders

Notch 8 is a TrainMasters TV exclusive series.

Watch it now on TrainMasters TV ....

MRC Light Genie

Currently I am using an SPST on/off push button to turn on some lights.  The lights are powered from an old DC power pack.  The push button is mounted in the layout fascia.  I want to eliminate the push button but still use the power pack as a power source.  I know the new MRC Light Genie can do a lot of things.  Can it be used to just act as a SPST switch?  Right now I do not want it to power the lights, just turn them on.  I some one could tell me how to do that I would appreciate it.

Thanks
