In this video we'll do the final wiring for the KD electromagnet and it's controls. Then we'll watch as a Southern NW2 switcher sets out a cut of cars and backs away. Here are some parts used in this series. Remember that All Electronics will shut down by the end of August 2023 so you'll have to search on eBay, Amazon, Jameco, DigiKey, Mouser, MPJA and other locations for these parts after that date.
Timer circuits—It has been a couple of years since I bought these and it appears the design has been changed. I have gone over those now and the following device seems to be the closest to the one I have been using. There are many other configurations/options which might meet your specific needs. I will be ordering several of these so should know in the near future how close they are.
First, here is one very similar to the one I showed:

Then there is this one that is a more advanced version:
