Diagram 95: Blocks and Route
In the diagram displayed above the blocks “Southtown 1” and “Main Line East” are
connected with a route.
In many cases the track connection between two blocks contains one or more turnouts.
In Diagram 93, for example, the route between Block “Main Line East” and “Southtown
2” contains two turnouts. To enable a train to travel automatically from one block
to another the route between both blocks is activated. When this happens, all turnouts
contained in the route are operated accordingly. All track elements along the path of the
route remain locked in this position until the route is turned off again. As long as these
elements are locked, they cannot be operated or used by other routes.
Linking Switchboards together - Connector Symbols
If you are working with more than one switchboard and there are track connections between
parts of your layout, that are represented by different switchboards, then these
track connections can be represented by connector symbols.
Connector symbols are inserted into the track diagrams of your switchboards in a similar
way like blocks. Each connector symbol has a name of up to 2 letters or digits,
which is displayed in the switchboard, too. To link a certain track symbol in one
switchboard to a track symbol in another, insert a connector symbol next to each track
symbol in both switchboards and assign the same letters or digits to both. Associated
connector symbols are namely identified by identical names. Two connector symbols
are associated with each other, if they have got the same name. It is not possible to
create more than two connector symbols with the same name.
Connector symbols located in a switchboard are also inherited to the associated track
diagram. Furthermore TrainController Gold automatically creates a hidden route
between each two associated connector symbols. This route represents the said track
connection between the two switchboards. From now on TrainController Gold is
