Diagram 40: Running a train automatically with AutoTrain
Simultaneously the real train on your layout should start to move and run from “Block
1” to “Block 3”, where it should slow down and stop.
After the train has stopped, you can let it run back to “Block 1” automatically by calling
the AutoTrain by Drag and Drop command once more and dragging the train symbol
back to “Block 1”. Please ensure, that the mouse pointer now points to the left before
clicking on the train symbol and before releasing the left mouse button, since the train
should now run to the opposite direction.
Commuter Train with intermediate Stop
As a final step of our tutorial we want to run the train automatically back and forth between
“Block 1” and “Block 4” several times. The train will always select the right
block with regard to direction of travel, i.e. when running to the right, the train will pass
“Block 3”, when running to the left the train will pass “Block 2”. Additionally the train
will perform a short intermediate stop in “Block 2” and “Block 3”, respectively, during
each pass.
This cannot be accomplished with AutoTrain by Drag and Drop, because this does not
allow us to specify intermediate stops.
To do this, run the train manually back to “Block 1”. Train tracking should ensure, that
the display reflects this movement and finally looks like Diagram 28. Ensure that Edit
Mode in the View menu is turned off (see Diagram 4).
