This AutoControls.org automatic controls video is a COMPILATION, showing 18 demos, approximately 30 seconds long -- that have been "extracted" from 18 different AutoControls.org videos, that were made between 1989 up through 2017.

The first 9 clips are DC track power, and the last 9 clips are DCC track power.
Of the 9 DCC clips, 1 uses DCC-BitSwitch, and the other 8 use the NCE Mini-Panel to control the trains.

This video was created for display during the August 2017 National Association of S Gaugers Convention in Timonium MD, so it uses S gauge demos when available -- and uses Largescale (#1 ga.) and HO demos when there is no S gauge demo available. Please note that the AutoControls.org ‘Videos’ page contains many additional demos not shown in this compilation video.

Of the 18 demonstrations, 11 demos use S gauge, 8 demos use Largescale, and 3 demos uses HO gauge. (3 of the demos use multiple gauges.)

This Video #840 shows 9 simple programming examples for 3-rail, O-gauge, AUTOMATIC train control -- using a DCC Programmable Model Train Controller -- made right here in the USA, in Rochester NY.

~~~~~~~~
In this video, we'll show you EXCERPTS (small pieces) of about TEN different videos.

We'll show 3-rail O gauge demonstrations if we have them. A few will be other scales, but would work the same in O gauge.

You can refer to those videos for complete demonstrations and explanations.

GRANDKIDS:

Please consider if this is something you might want to get your grandkids involved with -- as it combines both very SIMPLE programming and O gauge model trains -- which we think they might find interesting.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS:

Demonstrating a simple program might also be entertaining for elementary school kids.
Having the kids enter the program themselves, would combine both programming and trains.
They could be even given homework assignments, to repeat this programming experiment on their train at home.

This video demonstrates "Automatic Route Selection" on a G-Scale display layout.

* LGB magnets on the bottom of the locos activate track contacts, which in turn operate track switches and relays, to send trains on two different routes.

C. ~~~~~~ DESCRIPTION: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|

* This video demonstrates the 'Zellner Yard' 4-Track Automatic Switching Block, operating on a 1996 G-Scale display layout. This unit operates 5 trains on a single loop, by holding 4 of them in the yard, until the 5th train gets about 2/3 of the way around the loop, then 'releases' a train from the yard.
* Please see AutoControls.org for other videos in this series.
