TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

• Create all blocks of the layout, place them according to their location on the actual
layout and turn them vertically, if desired.
• Create the routes between the blocks. Ensure that the routes attach the blocks at the
correct exits(see below).
Routes
Routes are used to connect blocks with each other. If there is a track connection on your
layout, on which trains can travel from one block to another, then a route must be
drawn between both blocks. A route represents a track connection between two blocks.
Routes are displayed by lines.
The following image explains the terms once more:
Diagram 154: Blocks and Route
In the diagram displayed above the blocks “Southtown 1” and “Main Line East” are
connected with a route.
Please pay attention that the blocks and routes are arranged accordingly. A certain
block can only be passed without stop when the train can enter the block through one
entry and leave the block through the opposite exit.
Diagram 155: Passing Blocks and Routes without Stop
In the diagram displayed above a train can pass block “Southtown 1” without stopping
and reversing its direction. Coming from block “Main Line West”, for example, a train
will enter “Southtown 1” through the left entry and can leave this block through the opposite
exit to proceed to block “Main Line East”.
