The Automatic Train XChange Controller allows running two trains on a single track loop, running one train while holding another in a passing siding, or running two trains with a "stop-and-wait" holding track, all with a single ATX controller.

Additional ATX controllers can be used to combine basic features and expand your automatic layout. Features are also available for extending Train XChange Layouts and providing automatic track switching on any train layout.

The ATX has three isolated outside-rail inputs and two double-throw relays. Inputs can be connected to isolated track sections, operator push buttons or switches, or controller relays.

The ATX relay contacts are wired to track power to control trains or to track switches for providing automatic operation.

Three-Rail Innovation's Automatic Train XChange controller has features expressly designed for operating two or more trains on a layout.
