A Layout to Play With!

[Anonymous]

Hi Pete

I had a go and guess what? As the signalman been responsible for all that traffic, well I failed miserably and got fired. Great idea of the use of detach controles. Maybe I should of read the signalmans manual first. I’ll have more fun later.

Thanks Dave

Hi Pete and Dave,

Ijust got it and will see what happens. :

Here is a small tip You will notice that trains run alternately in different directions. Once you have a train in the station loop or the goods siding you can do nothing with it until after a train has passed through in the opposite direction. Once this train has passed you can set the points for departure immediately. Next watch for the Section power control to jump in the opposite direction. As soon as this happens you can immediately apply power to your station or goods track (in the same speed setting direction as the Section control is showing) and send yoour train away, resetting the points afterwards. This may well be completed before the indicator lights show for the next train.

I had another go and did much better. But I did need a copy of the signlmans manual by my side. 😆

Thanks Dave

I’m glad to hear it Dave. I keep forgetting to reset the points behind a train. In fact I am tempted to automate that bit. But then I might decide to automate the lot and have nothing to play with!

Hi Pete,

Your idea sounds really good to work as a train dispatcher. Thanks for the layout. Unfortunately, at the moment I have no time to play around with RTR, but I think after the next extension pack and Layout Viewer has been released I will find some time. 😆

Best regards,

Willi
