DriverD # B.S.2 – Switching the Christmas Tree in DCC-EX, EX-Rail!
Welcome to Driver D Trains. Thanks for stopping by! I’m your host Driver D.
We’re joined again today by our conductor and brakeman Scratchy-C.
[Meow!]
Hey Scratchy, I heard that people like to watch videos of trains running under the Christmas tree during the holidays. Maybe we should make one of those videos.
[Meow!]
Yes, I know Christmas was last week.
[Meow!]
No, I can’t make it go in circles.
[Meow!]
Tell you what… How about we make a video showing folks the switching automation for two locomotives we’ll be creating in DCC-EX, EX-Rail in our next video?
[Meow!]
All right then. Let’s get switching!

What’s next - Automating Two Locomotives with DCC-EX, EX-Rail
In my next video we’ll develop the two automations and various sequences we just saw in action, watching two locomotives working together to switch freight cars from one track to another. After that we’ll look at how to add a second LCD to our DCC-EX command station, and use that LCD to display information about our locomotives. Until then…
Thanks for watching!
Well Scratchy, do you think Santa would approve?
[Meow!]
Well then next time I’ll remember to leave milk and cookies.
All aboard!
