Controlling the Train Elevator Part 1 Prototype & Logic

First of a three-video series on my custom, automatic control system for the train elevator on my dual level N Scale model railroad. This first part demonstrates the prototype and explains the control logic. Part 2 will show the parts and wiring. Part 3 will show how to code the microcontroller, an Arduino Uno.
