Diagram 62: Normal and Space saving Turnouts
Diagram 62 shows two identical situations, on the left side drawn with normal turnouts
and on the right side drawn with space saving turnouts. The left part requires more
space, even though a double slip turnout can be used there.
This diagram illustrates also, that normal turnouts and space saving turnouts can be
combined in the same track diagram without any problems.
TrainController Gold leaves the choice to you, which type of turnout symbols you
use, the normal, the space saving or both. This enables you to create a track diagram
layout, that fits best to the available screen space, to the prototypical panel style, that
you may want to replicate, or just to your personal taste.
2.4 Connecting the Turnouts
When the track diagram is completely drawn, the digital address of each turnout, or slip
turnout, must be specified. This is the address of the stationery decoder or output device
controlling the specified turnout. If several digital systems are used, then the system that
controls the particular turnout must also be selected.
This is done by selecting the turnout element and using the Properties command of the
Edit menu.
For each turnout you can specify a name. This is useful in identifying the turnout when
it is referred to later.
