A photodetector at each station would sense the car and the controller would pause a few seconds and then send the car back to the other station. He used LED’s for diodes so there were flashing lights in the station power house–kind of mad scientist effect. 🙂

I have worked with steppers for a few years and been involved in electronic designs for them as well. I have worked with various stepper motor companies in Japan, USA, Switzerland and Germany. If you have any questions then please post them or send me a note 🙂
