Voila! Photos as promised.
I have yet to provide the scenery work but first things first- get it operating. Manual operation works as designed.
The power (0-17vDC) from the speed control can be routed for overhead supply or to the tracks only by a manual switch. The yard turnout can be operated manually or via the PIC logic.
Controller has an LCD and three buttons to program number of trips, seconds at east and west (future) stations or yard termination. Prompts for setting automation are displayed on LCD.
I made the enclosure out of acrylic sheet so I could custom size it and intended to paint it gray but since it looks pretty cool as a transparent case I think I'll leave it that way.
