Driving Mode Explanation
Trains are completely controlled by the computer
The computer intervenes when restricted speed is prescribed or
when the train approaches a red signal requesting the train to
stop.
The computer intervenes, when the train approaches a signal
requesting the train to stop.
Trains are almost completely controlled manually. If the human
operator fails to stop the train in time before reaching the
stop marker in front of a red signal, then the computer performs
an emergency stop of the train.
Trains are completely controlled manually.
Table 3: Driving Modes of a Schedule
It is possible to use different modes for different schedules, regardless whether these
schedules share the same blocks and routes or not. This enables full automatic operation
of one part of your layout and running trains manually under computer control in
another part.
Different schedules with different modes can be arranged for the same part of your
layout, too. It is for example possible to create two schedules for the main track of your
layout. The first schedule is used for automatically running trains, while the second
schedule uses the same track for trains operated manually under control of the computer.
In this way you can operate your favorite train manually while other trains in front
of or behind this train are controlled automatically.
Driving modes can also be specified individually for each particular engine. If this is
done, then the driving mode of the engine overrides the setting of the schedule. This is
useful if you want to run different trains in different driving modes with the same schedules.
5.13 AutoTrain – Start of Schedules made Easy
AutoTrain is another outstanding feature of TrainController. With AutoTrain
you can run automatic trains at any time during operation without the need to define
schedules in advance.
AutoTrain is especially useful in the following cases:
