YouTube Video of JMRI Running Auto Train

 

OK, here's an off-the-wall question:
I had a break in my hobby from ten years ago to about two years ago.? I am now back to working on JMRI and trying to automate some trains.? I rememberr seeing a YouTube video of:
1.? a gentleman somewhere in the UK? demonstrating how he runs JMRI.?
2.? He showed a portion of his layout with a view showing (I think four) monitors, displaying JMRI information, with the train visible in the video.
3. He clicked on a train on one of the monitors.? I don't remember if on a track diagram or in a table of trains.
4.? He clicked on where he wanted it to go, I think this was on a list of possible destinations, and showed that the train then drove to the destination.? It was a short movment and all visible without the camera moving, as I recall.
?
Problem is, I can't find that video.? I know I watched it at llong time ago,, most likely more than ten before my hobby break.? I have no idea how old the video was when I saw it, in fact.? Here;s the $64,000 question:? Can anyone here stee me to that video?

This may or may not be the video to which you refer, but here is a link to a video I made about 3 years ago

I originally made it in support of articles which I wrote on the sujject of JMRI Automation for the NMRA British Region magazine.

I have copies of these articles if you wish to see them.

Enjoy the video anyway.

I did several YouTube videos showing train operation and my JMRI Panel Pro Dispatching set up. ?Try this one and then you will see a few other older videos that might also be of help.

Thanks Brian, but 3 years ago I wasn't active in model trains.? It had to be at least 6 years ago and most likely ten or more years. It'll be fun to watch your video, though!

 

These'll be fun to watch, too.? However, I'm sure the one I'm looking for is done by a modeler from the UK, and the train which starred in the video was a steam engine of British heritage.

 

Look for the McKinley railway on YouTube.

Thanks, Mick.? Enjoyed watching a couple of the McKinley Railway videos.
?
That's quite an ambitious project, and it's fun to see where he's going with it.? I see he's using RFID to track individual "carriages"? and Train Controller software.
?
I'm using BDL168s for detection, so I don't have the identification feature he's enjoying.? I'm also deep enough into JMRI that I won't be changing my control software.? I may be adding some IR sensors for more precise train stopping later.

I've saved a link to this for future reference.

Thanks again.
