Switching Puzzle
This thread has become the WIP thread for my switching puzzle see the updates for specific posts or feel free to browse the whole thread! Comments are welcomed!
Original Post:
So after a trip to the local train club (scale trains n, ho, S, O) basically think a large room with about 12 different layouts running.
One of the club members created a 4x2 HO switching puzzle and it was a lot of fun. I know I've seen switching puzzles at model RR shows but I haven't seen any in the Lego world. So I've been reading through decoupling and other tricks that have been posted.
My question comes... Has anyone had any luck with switching puzzles in Lego at shows? Did they go over well or was it more hassle then it's worth?

Update!
One car ... Half car ... Cut. Here you see the conductor radioing to the engineer in front of the new stop bumpers
And yes they do stop a train car with speed. And do fold up if hit full speed. Of course your car will derail.
The layout changed slightly I couldn't get three cars in the one siding so I had to reconfigure.
Final detail parts are still trickling in but the cars are complete aside from the two tankers
In the video I dont have the air connected as I have to route lines
And I left the part where I try to run through the decoupler
