Consist Follow Functions
By default, in Engine Driver, if you activate a DCC function while controlling a Consist/Multiple Unit train only the function on the lead loco will actually be activated. Engine Driver provides options (preferences) that will activate the functions on the other locos in the consist/multiple unit train given a number of possible rules. The following document provides information on the different rule types and how to use them.
See the Consist Follow Functions page for details.
Children’s Timer
Engine Driver provides options for time controlled running. This was originally intended for providing a way to have children have a fair share of the use of a loco, but can be used for timed control for any purpose.

When the timer runs out:

orclick the action button again.
Recommendations:
