Conditions”), it is even possible to setup indexing for analog or generic turntables/transfer
tables. This is demonstrated in the following example.

Example: Indexing of an Analog Turntable
This example explains how an analog turntable, such as the Fleischmann Turntable or
the Marklin Turntable 7186, can be setup for indexing in order to be controlled automatically.
It is assumed that the track layout of the turntable is identical to Diagram
167. In the following, it is explained how indexing is setup for track “A” (see page
231ff). The setup for the other tracks is done accordingly.
• Wire the analog turntable according to the instructions in the Help menu of Train-
Controller.
• A Turntable Window is created and the track layout of the turntable is configured
accordingly.
• Create a feedback indicator “Track A” that is turned on, when the physical bridge
of the turntable reaches the position of track “A”. Of course you need an appropriate
physical sensing device on your model railroad layout that is able to detect and
report when the bridge reaches this position. This indicator is used to trigger stopping
of the bridge at the destination position.
• Create an on-off switch “Track A”. This on-off switch is used to trigger turntable
movement and to act as a memory in order to stop the bridge at the correct position.
• Assign the move of the turntable bridge (in any direction) as operations to the onoff
switch “Track A”.
• Assign the on-off switch “Track A” as turntable operation to the turntable according
to the image below.
