Diagram 162: Move with Turn to the Right
During a move with turn to the right or bottom, the bridge of the turntable may or may
not pass the turn boundary. This depends on the orientation of the entering engine. If
the orientation of the engine points already to the right or bottom when it enters the
bridge, then the turntable does not perform a turn. The engine leaves the bridge with the
same orientation as before. If the orientation of the engine points to the left or top when
it enters the bridge, then the turntable performs a turn in order to change the orientation
of the engine to the right or bottom. When the engine leaves the bridge its orientation
points to the right or bottom in both cases. A move with turn to the left/top is performed
accordingly. If you want to enforce an engine to leave the bridge with a certain orientation,
select this kind of move.
If you assign a move with turn to the right/bottom (or left/top) direction as an automatic
operation of the turntable to a route, for instance, and this route is activated during automatic
operation by the Dispatcher, then TrainController evaluates the current
orientation of the affected engine and automatically performs a move with or without
turn depending on this current orientation. In this way it is possible to ensure that an
engine leaves the bridge in a dedicated orientation regardless of its previous orientation.
When the turntable is directed to perform a specific move and this move is not performed
under control of the Dispatcher or the bridge is not occupied by an engine, then
