Hello all,

I am still having difficulty figuring out the process for programming a recently acquired MTH Subway Set

https://mthtrains.com/30-20580-1

I've gone through the manual as well as the DCS instructions, but they make no mention of programming individual subway stops. However, within the item overview, MTH states:

"When configured to run on automatic, the LO-V subway stops itself at locations you define and calls out station names that you select in advance; the subway essentially runs itself. And when you program the LO-V for an out-and-back route, it even reverses itself and heads back downtown when it reaches the end of the line - stopping along the way at each station to broadcast the name of the stop and the hustle and bustle of passengers coming and going."

I've looked online to no-avail. Any guidance / input would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

For DCS this is the process  All done on the remote   Even easier if you are using a phone or tablet

 

Automatic Operation For automatic mode behavior, specific station stops and distances between them can be programmed and saved. The process for this, or “learn” mode is outlined in the following steps.

1. The user presses MLM to enter “learn” mode.

2. The trolley is driven to the track location for where the first stop will be stored.

3. The user will select the specific stop to be programmed using the LST softkey.

4. The stop will be saved by pressing the SAV softkey.

5. Steps 2-4 are repeated for the remaining stops to be programmed. Stops must be stored in sequence as is required in conventional mode. Interim stops are removed from availability in the stop list.

6. After the last stop is programmed, the sequence is saved as either out and back (OAB) or loop by pressing a softkey. For OAB, the user simply saves the sequence at the last programmed stop prior to moving the trolley (by either pressing SAV twice or pressing the SOB softkey). For loop, the trolley must be moved in the forward direction back to the original point of origin and saved as a loop (SLP softkey or SAV after pressing LST and sounding the first station again).

The user can toggle in and out of “automatic mode” via a softkey. This key will simulate the B-W-W command used to enter and exit automatic behavior similar to the B-WW command in conventional mode. NOTE – If the user toggles back into Auto mode from Manual mode they will have to drive the engine to the first station saved during Learn mode and ensure the engine is in the correct directional state (Forward or Reverse). While operating in automatic mode, the user can toggle between “all stops” and “random stops” via the FAR softkey
