TrainController Gold and Silver - Freiwald Software

• Three way turnout
• Single or double slip turnout
You can draw your track diagram in various ways. First, though, the edit mode of the
switchboard must be turned on.
Then you have the following options:
• Inserting single elements: You can draw your track diagram by inserting single
elements successively.
• Drawing a straight track section with the mouse: You can draw a straight track
section consisting of more than one element very quickly by dragging the section
you want to draw with the mouse.
• Drawing the track diagram with the keyboard: An additional and fast way to
draw the track diagram is the use of the numeric keypad of your computer.
These methods are explained in detail in the help menu.
To adjust the track elements precisely, additional edit facilities such as copy, move or
turning of track elements are available.

Space-Saving Turnouts
In addition to the track elements described above the following track elements are
available in TrainController Gold:
• Space-saving turnouts as left- and right-hand turnouts, wye turnoust and three-way
turnouts
• Connecting tracks for space-saving turnouts
• Left, right and symmetric crossings for use with space-saving turnouts and their
connecting tracks.
Space-saving turnouts need less space in the switchboard in certain situations, e.g. in
the case of crossovers. Furthermore the look of certain prototypical switchboard panels,
that use such symbols, too, can now be replicated more realistically.
