MARCothat are stopped at a red signal in your station, using the keys on your TrackControl speedcontroller.7.5.2 Braking before a signalLengthening the Braking section with a Precision stopThis Chapter is about shuttle trains, holding point, block section and station block, explainingthat every vehicle will brake immediately it passes over the first track section (Track 1) byusing its internal braking settings. Thus, the point at which a vehicle comes to rest isdependent on its speed when it enters the block and the design of the vehicle. So everylocomotive will stop at a different place.This behaviour can be modified second track second is the actual stopping point that is whenthe signal is reached. The locomotive brakes after passing the first detector to an adjustablespeed (the programmed speed step applies to all locomotives) and moves forward at thisspeed to the second detector, where it finally stops. By setting a slow speed, a point can berealized at which all vehicles stop, if the mechanical characteristics of the locomotive are nottoo different.This can be achieved by programming a block speed in LNCV 9.LNCV Description9 Block speedIf a speed step (2-127) is entered here, then the module in the automatic modes 4-12 and 20-28 (LNCV 2) will reduce the speed to the preset value when a train is recognized. Afterreaching the second track section (track 2) the train brakes to speed step 1.0 = stopping with the decoder-internal delay1 = emergency stop (stop without delay)2-127 = speed step for the slow section70
