is possible to zoom and scroll the window accordingly, in which the block diagram
is displayed.
Please pay attention that the blocks, routes and links are arranged accordingly. A certain
block can only be passed without stop when the train can enter the block through one
entry and leave the block through the opposite exit.
Diagram 130: Passing Blocks and Links without Stop
In the diagram displayed above a train can pass block “Southtown 1” without stopping
and reversing its direction. Coming from block “Main Line West”, for example, a train
will enter “Southtown 1” through the left entry and can leave this block through the opposite
exit to proceed to block “Main Line East”.
Diagram 131: Blocks with enforced change of Direction
This arrangement allows also for train movements from “Main Line West” via “Southtown
1” to “Main Line East”. But after arriving in “Southtown 1” a train has to stop
and to reverse its direction in order to proceed to “Main Line East”, because it enters
and leaves the block on the same side.
Even though you are not forced to do so it is recommended to draw the block diagram
according to the actual conditions of your layout. If you follow the layout of your
model railroad you will probably not encounter any problems.
Nevertheless you should always check whether the routes and links between your
blocks touch the blocks at the correct side.
Please note also that a train cannot run from one block to another under control of
the Dispatcher if there is no route or link between both blocks.
