This video shows an MTH 3-Rail O ga. Proto 3 Alco S2 Diesel — automatically running back & forth “point-to-point” — being controlled by an NCE DCC Power Cab & an NCE Mini Panel.

The Video #822 “information page” for the automatic control Video #822 is on the main site at AutoControls.wordpress.com ; there are also “information pages” for the earlier 2 videos.

There are so-far 3 videos in this O-gauge series (a 4th video is planned):

• Video #820 “The Elusive DCC/DCS Switch on the MTH Proto 3, O-Gauge 3-Rail Locomotives“: https://youtu.be/AfX7SavSJow or https://vimeo.com/370378341
• Video #821 “NCE DCC Power Cab Controls an MTH Proto 3, O ga. 3-Rail Alco S2 Diesel“: https://youtu.be/ezE_1D1LV0g or https://vimeo.com/370579487
• Video #822 “Automatic Point-to-Point Control of MTH Proto 3, O ga. 3-Rail Diesel, using NCE DCC Mini Panel“: https://youtu.be/lzhWvoTdcVY or https://vimeo.com/371224478

This recent video shows a Z-Stuff Infrared Block Signal Detector and Relay automatically controlling two 3-rail O-gauge trains, running on the same track.

Although the demos use O-gauge trains, this detector-relay combination should be able to control trains of just about ANY gauge, 3-rail or 2-rail — using AC, DC, or DCC track power.

• This video shows Talley Ober’s Insulated-Rail 3-train, 3-rail O-Gauge Automatic Control System in operation.
• It uses no relays nor electronics.

Links are on the “Video 667 information page” — CLICK HERE to view it.

• Compilation Video #611 (used in the clinic at the 2017 National Association of S Gauger’s convention: Vimeo |  Youtube (15 min)
  • This video shows 9 analog (DC track power) setups, and 9 DCC setups.

Not Shown in the Compilation Video

• • Some of the Large-scale demonstrations are NOT in this video, since it was made for the S gauge convention.
  • The two O-gauge videos mentioned above (#667 & #668) are not shown,  because they were made later.
  • Video #819 showing 3 DCC HO trains being controlled on the same mainline with NO turnouts — was made AFTER the compilation video.

The REST of the AutoControls.org videos (approximately 50) can be found on the ‘AutoControls.org >>VIDEOS<<‘ page  on the original 1997 website (Home2).  Below is a “screen capture” of part of the Videos page.
