TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

In TrainController Gold Train groups can be optionally defined to exclude all vehicles
listed therein. Vehicles are contained in such train group, if they are not listed in
this group.
The following rules apply to train groups and the list of trains associated with an object
in TrainController Gold:
• An engine or car is contained in a train group, if it is a direct member of this train
group, or if the train group contains another train group, that contains this vehicle.
• The list of enabled trains applies to an engine or car, if the vehicle itself is listed or
if a train group is listed, that contains the vehicle.
• If the list does not contain any engines, then the list applies to all engines. This is in
particular also true, if the list only contains only cars, but no engines.
• If the list does not contain any cars, then the list applies to all cars. This is also true,
if the list only contains engines, but no cars.
• If the list applies to each particular engine or car contained in a train set, then the list
also applies to the train set itself.
• If the list does not apply to at least one engine or car contained in a train set, then
the list does also not apply to the train set itself.
• As a consequence of the above an empty list, which is the initial setting of each object,
applies to all engines, cars and train sets. By default and initially each block,
route, schedule or other object may be used by all vehicles or train sets.
Examples:
• If a list of enabled trains will apply to all steam engines, then create a train group of
all steam engines and enter it into the list.
• If a list of enabled trains will apply to all steam and diesel engines, then create a
train group for all steam engines and a group for all diesel engines and enter both
groups to the list.
• If the steam engines on your layout are divided into steam engines for main lines
and steam engines for branch lines, then it may be useful to create a separate train
group for each type and to combine both groups in the train group of all steam engines.
• If a list of enabled trains will apply to all freight trains, then create a train group of
all freight cars (remember: create only one car for a set of freight cars, that runs always
in the same formation) and enter it to the list. If there is no engine in the list,
the list applies to all engines, that pull only freight cars.
