Quick Start - Step 3: Controlling Turnouts – The Switchboard Creating a small switchboard control panel So far the area in the background of the main window of TrainController is still empty. It contains a number of cells, that are arranged in rows and columns. These cells are still empty. We want to fill this empty area with a small switchboard control panel for the following small track layout: Diagram 10: Small Sample Layout In the first step we will draw the track diagram in the switchboard window. First ensure that Edit Mode in the View menu is still turned on (see Diagram 4). Next select the Draw tool in the Tools menu. 33

The following image should now be visible in the switchboard window: Diagram 12: Straight track section We have drawn a straight track section. Now move the mouse to a cell on this track section, that is located about one third to the right of the left end. Click the left mouse button and drag the mouse one cell to the right and one cell up. Then release the left mouse button. Now you should see something similar to the following:
