Automating an engine with DCS?

They do not automate like a trolley, but there is a station stop with the sounds of loading and unloading, then starting off on it's own.  You activate it with PFA and control with direction button.  But this is not like the trolley effect. G

What you seek is in the section for Record/Playback in both of my books:

The DCS Companion 3rd Edition pages 117-119.

The DCS WiFi Companion 2nd Edition pages 114-118.

This and a whole lot more about DCS is all in MTH’s “The DCS Companion 3rd Edition!" This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!

This and a whole lot more about DCS WiFi is all in MTH’s “The DCS WiFi Companion 2nd Edition!" This book is available from many fine OGR advertisers and forum sponsors, or as an eBook or a printed book at MTH's web store!

Here is a general article I found for proto 2.

I don't own DCS as of yet, but this perhaps has swayed me to spend the dollars. Even

for carpet central. The wife might kill me, but I think I am sold. Also means I will need a tablet, and a GE Evolution engine.

Not so much.

Just be precise in your train movements, and avoid excessive speeds, jackrabbit starts and heavy braking as much as possible.
