The data of engines and trains can be exported to a separate file and imported into another
TrainController project. In this way it is possible to exchange train data between
different layouts or to import train data created at home into a project file belonging
to a club layout.
3.2 Engines and Trains
Like at real railroads there is also a difference between engines and trains in Train-
Controller An engine describes different properties of one of your model engines.
These are prototypical attributes like maximum speed or horse power, or model related
properties like digital address or auxiliary functions. A train is powered by one or more
engines and is used to simulate prototypical aspects such as multiple unit operation or
simulation of train tonnage.
For simple operation of your engines it is sufficient to enter each engine with its digital
address in TrainController To specify the digital address or other attributes mark
the appropriate engine in the Train List or in a Train Window and select the Properties
command of the Edit menu. Once an engine is entered with its digital address it is then
possible to control it with the Train Window.
