TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

28. New train operations allow to run the current train with interlocking or to terminate
the current schedule of a train. These operations can be called automatically by
contact indicators, by brake, stop, speed or action markers or by macros.
29. Temporary speed limits can be set with a new train operation. See page 186.
Dispatcher and Automatic Operation:
30. The name of the blocks can be displayed, too, when edit mode is turned off.
31. It is possible now to create more than one block diagram. See section 5.2, “Blocks
and Routes”.
32. The automatic calculation of the block diagram can involve more than one switchboard
window. See section 5.2, “Blocks and Routes”. Due to this feature Train-
Controller Gold is much better suited for large layouts than other versions of
TrainController (including the Silver version), where the automatic calculation
of the block diagram is always limited to a single switchboard.
33. It is possible now to open more than one dispatcher windows at the same time. This
is useful if you want to monitor different block diagrams simultaneously.
34. The Passenger Ride command of the View menu causes the dispatcher window to
follow the selected train as it moves across the layout. The block, in which the train
is located at a time, will be automatically highlighted and displayed in the dispatcher
window. If the train moves to another block diagram, then the display changes to
this diagram, too.
35. Connector symbols allow to link several switchboard windows or dispatcher windows
to each other. See page 141. Connector symbols can also be used to create
hidden track connections within the same switchboard or block diagram.
36. With a new option it is possible to exclude those routes from the calculation of
block diagrams, that contain too much turnouts. If two routes between the same
two blocks contain a different number of turnouts and this difference exceeds a certain
preset value, then the route with the higher number of turnouts is ignored. By
using this option the calculated block diagrams will contain only routes with a minimum
or accordingly higher number of turnouts.
37. New speed markers provide more control of the location, where speed limits of the
subsequent block are applied. See page 159
38. New action markers allow to trigger operations easily at any location in a block
without affecting the speed of the passing train. See page 160.
39. The effect of all brake, stop, speed and action markers can be limited to specific
trains. In this way it is very simple to let passenger and freight trains stop at different
positions. Many other useful applications can be easily achieved, too. See page
167.
40. The effect of all brake, stop, speed and action markers can be limited to specific
schedules. In this way it is very simple to let the same train stop at different posi-
