Hi Tony
Ensure that the autotrain loco has been fully released from all other throttles before attempting to create the train. Autotrain will not work on a shared throttle. You can clear all command station slots with an OpSw, see the digitrax documention for which one.
LocoNet slot monitor can be a good start to finding inuse throttles.

the active train window lists the train. status=running /

requested allocation waiting for dipatch window shows train and

everything looks good except the train is not running

how do i get it to start. looks like the program assumed it

running but it never moved

in the settings when i entered its dcc address of 5512 it shows as

5,512

if i run the train with a physical throttle the allocated sections

table lists the sections in and the next one changing each as the
engine moves.

how do i get the train to physically run automatically

Gary,

? ? What version of JMRI you running?

Roger

With Layout Editor, you will use instead.
See the starting page.

Had to explore and understand this myself too, as the terms used are rather similar.
