Single line running token rule?? - Page 2 - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • under TRS04 and 06 , I often use 'ControlDiamCross' <kuid:131986:1036> as a Block Token, the train takes the 'token' and conflicting signals are set to red so preventing AI from entering the single line, once the train has passed the exit trackmark, it releases the 'token' and allows the next train to take possesion of the 'token' and proceed onto the single line. The request for the token can be achieved automatically by using the 'Schedule at trackmark' rule <kuid2:61392:2001:4>. This rule can insert the command to ask for the 'token' when passing a specific trackmark, before proceeding with next command. Another possibility is the 'Path' rule which can exclusively set the entry and exit of the single line and in doing so, automatically block AI until the path is free again.

Portals - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • Happy to detail the Basic Portal setup that I have used to get 40 - 50 car consists emerging from, on the route I use on TRS2006. Please note that this is what works for me and therefore may not work for you. The portal is sited on straight track that runs for nearly 3 baseboards with at least one (1) junction along the length of track and one 04 signal (absolute) protecting that junction. The back end of the portal is 140 metres in from the far edge of the board in approximately the middle of the edge. The business end of the portal is approximately 1420 metres from the signal and the signal is a further 50 metres from the junction. From the junction to the join in the baseboard with the rest of the layout is another 210 metres approximately.
  • ou need to programme the commands you want when you set the trains up in the portal config box. The portal config box is opened when you select the ? of the scenery tab and click on your portal. All in surveyor of course.
  • To save you constructing lots of repetitive commands, you could set up a series of commands using the "schedule library" rule which you need to add to your session, and then activate the "copy commands from" in the driver commands. Both accessed via the "edit session rules" icon in surveyor. You can then use the "copy commands from" instruction in the portal dialog box to copy your pre-constructed commands over from the schedule library you set up previously

Complex junctions - Need signaling help - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • Hey everyone, Can someone help me or give me suggestions signaling the following set of rails? I've made various attempts but most of em ended up with a "line ahead is unsignaled", I have no idea why.

What is the best way to deal with this? (Single Track and Passing Sidings) - Trainz Dis... - 0 views

  • Where the green dots are signals, and track direction markers are the yellow arrows. Make sure you have enough space for the longest train that will run before the first signal in the loop, this will stop a train being held at that signal from blocking the exit from the opposite track... Edit; if this is for overtaking then you will have to use triggers, i'd suggest...

How to use invisible track with driveable objects? - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  •  
    Place the track on the ground, and use the "Adjust Spline Height" button in advanced tab to raise it to the height(s) you require for an airplane, helicopter, ship or drivable car or truck. Place your intended locomotive object (any drivable object) on the track in Surveyor. In driver, the track will be invisible. I suggest adding invisible speed limits and/or signals as well.

    Both from West Coast Trainz, you need the UP SD40-2 and the UP C40-8 (Wings) both of which are listed (with a link) in the non-DLS dependencies section of the session page. The other content is pretty much the entire Jointed Rail Safetran Signals (With Hood) pack - again listed with links on the route download page..... Andy

  • For anyone interested in this issue, the above solution actually does NOT work as intended. More on this in this thread: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=30085 I did however solve the bridge-signaling problem in another way, it's posted here: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/showthread.php?t=30147 __________________

Tips and Tricks-Surveyor - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • Here is a tip for moving Track marks. If you want to move track marks beyond spline points, use the move function for track objects (i.e. signals etc.) it works on track marks of all kinds. cheers, andyz
  • In the above image, you can see the result. The fill under the two tracks in the backgound is part of the track and was not added after the fact. It bridges the dip in the ground very nicely. Search for "1t spoordijk grind MRT" or 70337:38035 to try it

Two Questions. 1.Sound... 2.LARS - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • Your cattle question...the reason you can't send your AI driver to the packing plants is the way the layout is setup for the Class 1 trains that are running. If you look at the layout in Surveyor you will see that there are direction arrows so they keep to their tracks. What I did was save the layout under a different name and do away with the Class 1(remove the portals) and use the tracks for normal dual track setup. Remove the direction arrows and sort out the signals and you have a great railroad freight system that can run from one end of the layout to the other with a number of consists at the same time. I still keep an original version of the layout because I enjoy doing the great sessions that Phil has created. There is a flour hopper on the DLS, VR VPFX kuid 2:1854:1596:1 O So Lite. There is also a plain one, kuid 2:1854:1595:1. Another hopper you might find handy is the VR JX kuid 50567:108979
  • I'll try to work more with that Beth gondola 86311:999116 and looking at the config.txt, although I think I'm not informed enough to understand that stuff yet, BUT maybe I could understand it!

Down to the Basics pt1: Sense of Operation - Trainz Discussion Forums - 0 views

  • I use Maggs Re-rail portal along with pguy's Portal Timetable rule for interchanges. It will emit a string of cars at the time you want without an engine. They appear on the interchange track, that piece of track on which both railroads have joint rights. I then pick them up with my switcher. Dropping off cars is a bit of fun because you have to drop kick them into the interchange track (portal) or you will loose your engine. I find if I get up to a speed of 20mph pushing the string of cars, uncouple the engine and cut the throttle, the cars roll into the interchange track and I reverse and go back to the yard. This allows more than one interchange operation per session - like one in the morning and one in late afternoon. One could also use AI to bring the foreign road train onto the route and do the drop-off and pick-up, but I have had problems with that in the past. I think once you start to use portals, you will find there are many possibilities. Do you have any grade crossings with other railroads? This always makes for an interesting operations feature. There is a diamond crossing rule that takes care of the signaling. My road has 9 grade crossings with foreign roads, all of them with active cross traffic.
