TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

If the current speed of the train, to which the speed limit is applied, exceeds the specified
value, then the speed of the train is reduced to the specified speed as soon as this
operation is executed. If 0 is specified as speed, then an effective speed limit, if any, is
cleared. When a train terminates a schedule, then an effective speed limit, if any, is automatically
cleared, too. This is also true, if control of the train is passed to a successor
schedule. Temporary speed limits are only effective in the scope of the current schedule
of the affected train.
Waiting Time
You can specify a waiting time for each block contained in a schedule in order to perform
scheduled stops in certain blocks of a schedule.
In TrainController Gold it is furthermore possible to specify an individual delay for
each scheduled stop. Such delay is applied after a scheduled stop has ended, while associated
operations are executed and before the train is set in motion. This time span
can be utilized to perform additional operations (e.g. playing an announcement, the
noise of closing doors or the whistle of the conductor) after a scheduled stop ended and
before the train is set in motion (see below).
Additional Operations
Finally it is possible, to assign Operations to each block of a schedule. Possible operations
are turning on or off an engine function (see section 3.6, “Headlights, Steam and
Whistle”), execution of certain train operations or execution of a list of operations in
order to perform a sequence of actions.
These operations can optionally be performed when
• the train enters the block
• the train reaching a brake indicator has to reduce its speed
• the train has to stop
• the train starts again after a stop
• the block is released after the train has left the section
Additionally it is possible to perform operations before starting or after finishing the
schedule.
