zxoldboy Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Another question from me. I am building a tuning fork layout and I know shunting will be limited but I would also like to add a shuttle timer. So the question is how can i flick between manual or automatic operation?. I assume I would need some sort of switch, A diagram would be most useful please. I am using 1 LH point. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAF96 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Yes you can - I have a DC tram shuttle to supplement my DCC train layout and this operates using a GM SS1 auto-shuttle, which is controlled by a switch that sets auto or manual from the same DC controller. I can’t recall the wiring diagram off hand but will make a note of how I did it when next ‘under the boards’. Edit to add rough sketch diagram, which uses a twin channel controller.

RAF96 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 May not be obvious but when under manual control you use the controller to start-stop and reverse direction. Under auto control you set the direction and speed initially and the shuttle looks after fwd-rev from there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
