Using JMRI® to Operate Trains

Operations Locomotive Window

The Locomotives window allows you to edit your engine roster. You can enter an engine's number, road, model, type, and length. You can optionally add the engine's build date and owner. If you want a group of engines to be assigned as a unit, you can create a "consist". The engine type is used by the program to determine where engines are picked up and or stored at the various locations on your layout. Some of default engine types are electric, diesel, gas turbine, and steam.
