Yes, you need to set the IN portal to emit from alternative portal OUT. But remember every train that goes in the IN portal will come out the OUT portal after the set time, not just the ones you want.

If you are using a pre-assembled consist that you create in Surveyor for your train and are not adding or subtracting from it in your session, You can use the Portal Timetable rule. <kuid2:61392:2002:1> It gives you complete control over when trains are emitted.

Or you could have trains exit a portal into a holding yard on an un sceniked base board not even attached to your layout. The train would be instructed to hold there for the desired period of time before entering a portal back to the layout.
