What's the story with the auto-reversing track for point to point operation? I want to build some bookshelf, city scene diorammas but I don't need to buy a train set, a building or a power supply. Is it possible to purchase the reversing system separately?

Jerry,
Try Walthers for a Circutron or Minitronics reversing unit. I believe both have a unit that may fill your needs.
If not, others will soon let us know with proper sourcing.

If you can not get a Bachmann one:
Circuitron makes a auto reverse board. I have seen it on Caboose Hobbies and Walther's web sites. There are two different versions.
Aristo-Craft has one. Caboose and Walther's both carry this one also. It has an adjustment for the timer. I found it worked best when connected to the uncontrolled DC out of a power pack and then put a simple speed control between it and the track. You will need a couple of gaps and a couple of small diodes, 1n4001's should work for HO and N scale.

The Bachmann Electronic Auto-Reversing Nickel Silver E-Z Track is used to expand the HO and On30 scale Trolley and Street Car sets.
The reversing electronics are in the car barn and it is not sold separately.
I just purchased a new On30 trolley set. The new Bachmann set has adjustable speed. you can find these for under $100 even $75 on Ebay.
This might be your least expensive and EZ est (pun intended) route to go.
