You've found one.
I have been using TC GOLD since v7.

It's a software package that is designed to run signal systems and automatically control trains. Primary key to it is block detection. It interfaces with hardware systems like the Digitrax BDL168 for block detection and the SE8C for signal and turnout control.Is this a computer controlled system?

It runs on a laptop and interfaces with the layout through a Loconet connection.
I thought it must be, especially after looking at your schematic. 90 blocks? That's be some flippin' of flippin' switches. Better use a laptop with an SSD.Great description. I'm using it to (or at least hoping to) for "hands free" running of multiple trains on programmed routes.

I have 70 turnouts and am using 18 DS64s to control them.
(Love your tag line!)
Seems to be the "thing" there, doesn't it. Maybe because passenger trains are emphasised and therefore not so much freight. Some appear as though done in fast frame.As I understand it, European modelers prefer to program the whole layout so they can just sit back and watch it as a spectator rather than as an operator.
Couldn't watch the video for very long. I think you might be using a photo tripod rather than a video tripod there.Since I am a lone operator and can't handle running multiple trains, the computer control was my best option. Here is a link to see my operation. See post 704.

That's pretty much where I'm heading.As I understand it, European modelers prefer to program the whole layout so they can just sit back and watch it as a spectator rather than as an operator.
A late reaction, your layout probably already is fully automated by now!?
I did a series of articles and videos on Traincontroller, 55 video's available right now. I'll post a separate thread here on the forum, but here's the link already to where the series starts:
