• If you want to remove an indicator from another window without deleting it from a
block, then move the indicator symbol from the other window to the block by drag
& drop. Do this, even though the indicator symbol is already listed as assigned to
the block. This additional move gives you the opportunity to remove the indicator
symbol from the other window without deleting it from the block.
5.7 Stop and Brake Indicators
A block is created by assigning one or more indicators to it. If at least one of these
indicators is turned on, then the block is assumed to be occupied. The indicators are
used for indication of occupancy. Additionally each indicator can act as brake indicator
and/or stop indicator.
It may happen, that a train has to stop when passing a certain block. This is for example
the case, when the block ahead is not available or when the train shall change its direction
or when the train shall stop inside the block for a certain amount of time. In order
to give you control over the exact location, where a train is to be stopped inside the
block, you can specify certain indicators, which are assigned to the block, as stop or
brake indicators.
Let us assume that a train approaches a certain block. That means, that none of the assigned
indicators was activated before and that at least one of these indicators is activated
now. If this indicator is neither a brake nor a stop indicator, the block is marked
as occupied and the train continues with unchanged speed. If the train reaches an
indicator, which is assigned as a brake indicator for the current direction of travel (see
section 5.3, “Direction of Travel vs. Engine Orientation”) and the train has to stop
inside this block, then the train is decelerated to its threshold speed (see section 3.3,
“Throttle and Brake”). The braking ramp can be set as desired individually for each
brake indicator. If the train reaches an indicator, which is assigned as a stop indicator
for the current direction of travel and the train has to stop inside this block, then the
train is stopped at once.
Please note that a brake indicator is only effective if the train has to stop in the
same block. As a consequence brake and stop indicators that belong together must
be contained in the same block.
A stop or brake indicator can be valid for one or both directions of travel. It is even
possible, that a certain indicator operates as a stop indicator in one direction and as a
brake indicator in the opposite direction.
