5.12 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 before.
AutoTrain is especially useful in the following cases:
• If a train shall automatically run somewhere during operation and you did not specify
an appropriate schedule before to perform this task.
• If you want to define a new schedule quickly from scratch.
The fastest way to run AutoTrain is Drag & Drop with the mouse:
• Press and hold the key ‘A’ on your computer keyboard (A = AutoTrain).
• Press the left mouse button near the exit of the block in the block diagram or in the
switchboard, where the train shall start.
• Hold the left mouse button pressed and drag the mouse to the exit of the block in the
block diagram or in the switchboard, where the train shall stop.
• Release the left mouse button and the ‘A’ key.
• The train will now start and run automatically to the destination block.
With the AutoTrain toolbar you have more options for individual customization before
the train is actually started. To run a train with the AutoTrain toolbar the following
steps are performed:
• Open the AutoTrain toolbar .
• Select the locations (blocks) on the layout, where the train shall start.
• Select the locations (blocks) on the layout, where the train shall stop.
• Optionally specify additional options that influence the execution of the Auto-
Train, such as wait time, operations, cycle, shuttle, etc).
• Start AutoTrain.
