* This new DCC Automaatic Control Video 846 shows 3 MTH O-Gauge trains running on 1 loop, but using the simpler "YARD" mode -- where ALL THREE trains park in the "Yard" between runs.
* The PREVIOUS Video 845 (posted 4/25/23) showed 3 MTH trains running on 1 loop -- using the "MAINLINE" mode -- where 1 train is ALWAYS moving on the mainline, and 2 trains are parked in the "Yard".
* This newer Video 846 is not quite as much "Action" as the earlier video 845, but a little easier to UNDERSTAND and implement.
.
~~~~~ 2. HOW IT WORKS:
* After the 1st train leaves the Yard, and pulls out onto the Mainline, the 2 trains in the yard "pull forward" -- which creates an empty spot in the rear of the yard.
* When the mainline train pulls into the rear of the yard, ALL THREE of the trains "PARK" for a minute, before the 2nd train starts up.
* We can also play a optional "STATION DEPARTURE ANNOUNCEMENT" before each train leaves the yard.
