Track Hookups

Each of these hookups are a small example of an "Automation Scene". You can combine as many scenes as you like on your railroad. For example: Run a reversing loop hookup with an alternating train siding in each loop wth some additional station stops along the way.

These hookups use out-of-the-box, unmodified trains. (NOT DCC)

Have fun!


 

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 without Sensors or Magnets featuring Gradual Decelerations and Accelerations

Station Stop using a YardMaster

Station Stop using a StationMaster

Multiple Station Stops using a StationMaster

StationStop with 2 trains using Block Control

Program your StationMaster for up to 10 laps before stopping for even more fun.

 

Turnout Control

Smart Switch using a YardMaster

Reversing Loops

One Train Reversing Loops using a SIM with spring return turnouts

One Train Reversing Loops using a YardMaster and powered turnouts

 

Two Train Reversing Loops

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.

 

Quick Alternating Trains

Alternating between 2 Trains at a 2 track Siding.

Alternating Trains with Deceleration and Pause

The most popular and easiest way to run multiple trains on your layout in a very realistic manner.

  Alternating 2 Trains at a 2 track siding.

  Alternating 3 Trains on a 3 track siding.

  Alternating 4 trains on a 4 track siding.

  Alternating 2 Trains at a 2 track siding with a 3rd train on the main line.

  Multiple Passing Sidings, One Train Running at a Time.  

 
* Fully Programmable Acceleration and Deceleration Rates
* Programmable pause time

Station Stops using Battery Power

  Install a StationMaster in the battery car with a decelerate sensor attached to the bottom of the car for hands-off automatic control until the batteries run out.
Every magnet on the track will perform a station stop. 

Signal Light Control

Automatically Controlling RED/GREEN signal lights with trains

An easy way to make your signal lights change colors depending upon the locations of trains. 

Point-to-point back and forth REVERSING

YardMaster hookup

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

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

Reversing Three Train Siding.

Two Train Passing Siding

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.


Alternating Between Separate Loops of Track

Alernate running on two separate loops of track.

Alternating Trains in Opposite Directions.

Two trains alternating siding going in opposite direction.
