Diagram 13: Track section with turnout<br />

The first turnout in the switchboard has now been created. Now click on the cell, where<br />

the diverging route of this turnout ends <strong>and</strong> drag the mouse to the right to a cell, that is<br />

located about one third left of the right end of the straight track section.<br />

Diagram 14: Extending the track diagram<br />

Finally click on the cell, where the last mouse movement ended, <strong>and</strong> drag the mouse<br />

one cell to the right <strong>and</strong> one cell down.<br />

Diagram 15: The complete track diagram<br />

The track diagram of our small sample layout is now complete <strong>and</strong> should look like Diagram<br />

15.<br />

If you want to operate real turnouts of your existing model railroad with the track diagram<br />

control panel just created, try to identify a small area of your layout, that contains<br />

a similar track structure with two turnouts as shown above. Now operate these turnouts<br />

with your digital system. This step is recommended to verify, that the digital system <strong>and</strong><br />

the turnouts are correctly working <strong>and</strong> to bring the digital addresses of the turnouts back<br />

to your mind. This is needed in the next step.<br />

Preparing a Turnout for Model Railroad Computer Control<br />

Ensure, that the Edit Mode option in the View menu is still active (see Diagram 4).<br />
