Track Hookups

Each of these hookups are a small example of an "Automation Scene". You can combine as many seens as you like on your railroad.


Block Control - Running two or more trains on one track.

YardMaster hookup

StationMaster hookup with deceleration/acceleration

StationMaster 3 train hookup with deceleration/acceleration

SIM hookup

 

 

Station Stops

Station Stop using a YardMaster

Station Stop using a StationMaster

Multiple Station Stops using a StationMaster

StationStop with 2 trains using Block Control

 

Turnout Control Smart Switch

Smart Switch using a YardMaster

#1

Reversing Loops with a Common Center Track Section

One Train Reversing Loops using a SIM with spring return turnouts

One Train Reversing Loops using a YardMaster and powered turnouts

 

#2

Reversing Loops with a different direction through the loops each time.  Travel between two reversing loops using three Switching Interface Modules. 

#3

Two Train Reversing Loops with a passing siding.  A very realistic railroading operation that allows two trains to run simultaneously between reversing loops. One train will pass the other at the siding. JAVA Animated! 
 

#4

Alternating Trains

Alternating between 2 Trains at a 2 track Siding.

Alternating between 4 trains at a 4 track siding.

 

#5

Alternating Two Trains at a siding with Decelerate, Pause, and Accelerate Realism  The most popular and easiest way to run two trains on your layout in a very realistic manner.
 

#6

Automatically Decelerate, Pause, and Accelerate at Stations using Battery Power.  For hands-off automatic control until the batteries run out. 

#7

Automatically Controlling RED/GREEN signal lights with trains  An easy way to make your signal lights change colors depending upon the locations of trains. 

#8

Point-to-point, back and forth, REVERSING control

YardMaster hookup

StationMaster hookup with deceleration/acceleration and in-between station stops

Two Train StationMaster hookup with a Siding. Deceleration/Acceleration realism.

 

#9

 

#10

Authentic Two Train Passing Siding.  One train will pass by the other at the siding, and then the waiting train will follow the passing train after the first train has traveled some distance. JAVA Animated!

#11

Automatic Reversing with a Single Loop Turnaround.  One train operation where the train will travel around a return loop, and then reverse directions at the end. Accelerations and Decelerations give realism.

#12

Alternating Trains at a Siding in Opposite Directions.  Two trains take turns around the layout, each traveling in the opposite direction.
