Track Plan

Hey guys im trying to put a lionel on a shelve near my ceiling in my basement, i cant make a complete circle due to the stairs. I have seen some models that go from bumper stop to bumper stop and return with someone changing the controls to reverse. kind of like auto reversing when it hits the bumper stop. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
csxman

i think what you are looking for is a "auto reversing circuit". trains runs to end,,stops for set delay that you set yourself on the circuit for time delay, then it returns to the other end. i do make these circuits myself, however, with my current work/project load , i am getting backed up a lil. heres a link to what i'm talking about.
