Push-pull (shuttle) train control
In combination with the ABC modules, a convenient push-pull
operation is possible. Here, the decoders make extended use of
the ABC feature described above.
You can choose between two variants:
1. Push-pull operation without intermediate stop.
The stopping time at the end points of the track can be set.
2. Push-pull operation with intermediate stop.
Here you can set up further intermediate stops between the
end points of the track.
The push-pull control integrated in the SILVER series requires
the use of the ABC module BM1 or BM2 (for rear-powered
trains).
Recommendation:
Activate the function "Constant braking distance" so that your
train will come to a standstill in the stopping section independent
of the current speed.

Push-pull operation without intermediate stop
The procedure is simple:
A
B
1. The train drives to stop "A" and stops there with the set
delay.
2. When the set stopping time has elapsed, the train will
automatically start moving into the opposite direction.
3. The train comes to a standstill at stop "B" with the set delay,
waits until the stopping time has elapsed and starts moving
again in the opposite direction, back towards stop "A".

Functioning of the push-pull operation without intermediate stop
The information "Stop" created by means of the BM1 / BM2 is
used in two ways. If the decoder detects this information, the
stopping procedure will be activated first; afterwards, the
