If you’re new to this website, note that it has two major “divisions”: (1) “Analog” (DC & AC) controls, and (2) “DCC” controls (mostly NCE Mini-Panel, plus several DCC-Bitswitch videos).
There are approximately 49 DCC videos and 55 analog videos on this site.
1. Several Videos You May Want to Watch First:
Video #840 “COMPILATION Video for O gauge“ (on Vimeo only, 2022) shows about 9 different, mostly O-gauge automatic control schemes, all DCC. (These will of course work the same for N, HO, S, and Largescale). .
Video #816 “Quick-Start Guide for 3-Rail O-Gauge DCC Programmable Train Controller” (5 parts) is our attempt to show how to get started with the NCE DCC “Programmable Model Train Controller”, aka “NCE Mini-Panel”. Part 0.1/5 on Vimeo . ~~~~~~ DCC Videos: .
Video #668 “Z-Stuff DZ-1012 Block Detector+Relay Automatically Controls 2 O-Gauge Trains On 1 Mainline” — This demonstrates how a Z-Stuff DZ-1012 Infrared Block Detector with adjustable time delay, can be used to control 2 analog AC O gauge trains on the same track (3 parts) . | Part 1/3 on Youtube | Part 1/3 on Vimeo .
The Youtube playlists in this section (02 – 27) are grouped by (1) ‘Scale’, (2) then by type of control (DC or DCC), then (3) by whether it’s point-to-point (push-pull shuttle), a loop with NO turnouts, or a loop with turnouts.
Note there are playlists for both Youtube and Vimeo (usually but now always, the same videos).
Videos #827 & #828 show the LATEST 3-trains-on-1-track and 2-trains-on-1 track programs; they’re in N-Ga. Playlist ‘A04’ immediately below.
Note: The following playlists (28-32) contain the SAME videos as the above playlists. They are just grouped by type of control, rather than by scale. Note there are 2 separate playlists for the 1992 LGB ‘V9202’ videos.
• With these 2 links, you can View ALL Youtube playlists or View ALL Vimeo playlists . • Unfortunately, since Youtube gives you no “A-Z” option to display them in alphabetical order, they display in a JUMBLED order.)
FYI: About The Video NUMBERS
Videos numbered with the ‘600’ series numbers are ‘analog‘ (DC or AC) AutoControls videos. * Videos numbered with the ‘800’ series numbers are DCC AutoControls videos.
Videos numbered with the ‘9202’ series numbers are the ORIGINAL year 1992 videos — originally recorded on Hi-8 & SVHS videotape. They’re all Largescale DC controls, using stock LGB components.
Videos numbered with the ‘200’ series numbers are model railroad videos (mostly layouts). They contain NO automatic controls content.
Videos numbered with the‘100’ series numbers (miscellaneous) and ‘400’ series numbers (dance) have NO model railroading content.
The list of AutoControls.org videos (approximately 50) can also be viewed on the original 1997 VIDEOS page on the original website (site3). Below is a “screen capture” of part of that 1997 Videos page.
