Massoth Auto Switch

Excellent, You are becoming a master of auto running Obi-One.

The next time you are down this way it would be great to see you again and have you talk me through the things that I would have to do to set something similar up with two of my separate sections on my layout.
I have all the point motors that I need now and a couple of Massoth switch decoders and have worked out the points that will be paired or even tripled etc but as to auto running well that is still a dark art to me
Of course, at present, my trains can just trundle around the individual sections at the moment but interaction at stations etc and even crossing from one line to another section is the next step.

There are times when, on an evening, a glass in hand with bantering going on, that auto-running would be just the ticket.
I will be purchasing a feedback module soon and plenty of multi-core cable!

Very good Shakin' Roland!

I like the way that ICE snakes around your curves too....

I have a feedback module running 3 shuttles, what else is needed for auto running?? :thinking:

BTW, very impressive

Having just taken a trip around the EM &BHR (also very impressive) I would have thought a switch decoder could allow you automatic bi-directional running (If you dont already have it)

Thanks for the compliment I'll have to update that video as the railway has changed a little since that one was made.

I have switch decoders, I can see I'm going to have to look into this more. I assume, that it's a matter of setting the feedback unit to set the switches, is that correct ?

I think I'll have to put my thinking head on

Wish I'd a thinking head instead of a muddled one!
