Running semi-automated trains using a cab signals app for JMRI

I think it might be interesting to run semi-automated trains in JMRI. Ones that have their route, set, and points set for them by the computer, but that I drive myself.
The only issue with that is visibility of signals during the journey, so I've tried to do something to address that.

Thanks for showing this. JMRI is an incredible program capable of so much from what I can see but it and the website is so user unfriendly. Only by following folks like you who have managed to get a handle on it and listening to explainations have I managed to learn a little.

Yeah the JMRI documentation thing is difficult I think. Sometimes I think, oh well I'll have a go at doing it, but then realise that there are so many different approaches to using it that it's a very difficult thing to document in a process driven, 'how to' kind of a way. Keep going with it, it is a very powerful piece of software! Regards, Chris

Excellent video! Your interests and goals seem very aligned with mine. I also want to have automated trains running -- perhaps through freight trains, Amtrak trains, and commuter local trains -- while I run local freight jobs that do switching along the way. Seems like this would be entertaining both when running by myself and also in a more formal operating session with a few friends. I appreciate you taking the time to demonstrate your activities and solutions. I'm relatively new to JMRI, just a month or two, but learning fast thanks to the great work of people like you. Thank you.

Thank you - yeah I really like the idea of a bunch of people working together on something like this. Now all I need is a bunch of people! Thanks, Chris
