Iowa Scaled Engineering’s Motorman is an automatic reversing train shuttle controller for use with standard DC and Digital Command Control (DCC)-equipped locomotives. Using the company’s TrainSpotter infrared proximity detectors mounted at two points opposite each other on a section of track, a Motorman unit will continuously drive a locomotive back and forth, automatically stopping and reversing at each end point. The Motorman’s functionality go beyond simply back-and-forth movement, you can program a locomotive’s speed, delay time, and many other settings to create a realistic looking operation. The Motorman is ideal for display settings and also provides background animation for an operating layout to give more action to your model railroad.
The Motorman can store settings for up to 15 locomotives, offerings adjustable acceleration and deceleration times, handles DC and DCC locomotives (long- and short-address compatible, including consisting), operates up to six accessory decoders based on trigger events, includes built-in track short circuit protection, and presents an easy-to-use push-button interface with display.
