Reply to "Programming a train to run every hour on a store shelf layout."

If you run a Legacy or TMCC engine with a Cab2 you could use the RECORD feature. Press and hold RECORD for 5 seconds to start the programming.   Power up engine, run it for awhile (you could blow horn, activate crew talk, change engine speed, etc) then stop it at the station.  Power down the engine and then wait.  DO NOT STOP THE RECORDING.  RECORD doesn't have a specific overall time limit but you need to do something at least every 400 seconds.  So, after 5 minutes press the AUX1 button.  Wait another 5 minutes and hit AUX1 again.  Repeat until your time interval is met and you are ready to start the train again.  THE SYSTEM IS STILL IN RECORD.  Start up the engine and THEN press and hold the RECORD button for 5 seconds.  Power down the engine.  Now when you press RECORD once, the engine will start up, run as you programmed it, stop at the station, shut down, wait the designated amount of time, start up again and the entire program will repeat endlessly on a loop.  If you want to stop the looping, press RECORD once.  The train may miss your intended stopping point by a little bit each time the loop runs so you may have to readjust the starting position of the train every once in awhile to make sure the train doesn't eventually miss your station.  The recording is stored on the Legacy remote, one program per remote.  If you want to run two trains each with its own program you would need two Legacy remotes.
