Originally I was just going to use the controller to run some schedules and have a stop button but now.....

Press a number to select either Platform 1,2,3 or 4. 5 is a block within the Garage as the start. Press another 1 to 5 to set that block as the destination and the train in the start block runs to the destination (under computer control, avoiding other trains etc)
Button 6 starts whatever is in Platform 2 and/or 4 on a 'Spontaneous Run' which is basically just run wherever you want. With some rules added to stop Spontaneous Runs eentering sidings and making them pause for 30 seconds whenever they enter a paltfrom works quite well.
Button 7 locks / unlocks all blocks. So this basically stops all trains as they are in a safe place and then allows them to continue on next press. The same as if all signals went to red.
Button 8 is the Emergency Stop which just tells TrainController software to turn the track power off. Has to be manually reset from the PC.
The remote controls the relay box which is linked to 8 DCC inputs on the S88 Bus.
