+===== Menu Items of an empty block =====
+Top line in Bold shows Block ID
+==== Set Locomotive assignment... ====
+A dialogue is opened and the block can be assigned with a locomotive. For details of this dialogue refer to **[[:mobile-selection-en|Mobile Selection]]**. \\
+The counterpart of the occupied block is [[#reset_locomotive_assignment|Reset Locomotive assignment]].
+==== Accept BiDi locomotive ====
+A manually operated, BiDi-capable locomotive is accepted once at the next entry into the block: The locomotive does not trigger a ghost train, but is accepted into the block with its ID. See also the corresponding block property for **[[:block-gen-en#accept_bidi_loco|permanent acceptance of BiDi locomotives]]**. \\
+Only active when the block is not currently occupied.
+==== Put out of operation / Put into operation ====
+Toggle function that locks or releases the block. In automatic mode, the block is no longer approached. \\
+The symbol of a locked and empty block has the background colour "grey": {{:blockside:block-gr.png?90}} \\
+If an already occupied block is set to "out of operation", this status will only be visible after it has become free.
+  * **Hints:** \\ The context menu of an __occupied__ block only offers "put out of operation". \\ Putting an __occupied__ block "into operation" is __not__ possible, but locomotives/trains can be started. \\ The toggle function "Put out of operation" <> "Put into operation" is only possible with an empty block. \\
+  * See also **[[block-gen-en#put_out_of_operation|Block: 'General']]**.
+==== Reset wheel counter ====
+Resets the current wheel/axle counter reading (see also **[[:wheelcounting:wheelcounting-en|Wheel Counting]]**).
+==== Reset FiFo ====
+Resets the FiFo. Only for automobiles in car systems, see **[[:block-gen-en#fifo_size_and_gap|FiFo size and gap]]**.
+==== Commands ====
+Block commands for special occupancy detectors.\\
+See: **[[#block_commands|Block commands]]**
+==== Assemble train ====
+See: **[[:trains-en#assemble_a_train_by_code|Assemble a train by code]]**\\
+==== Properties ====
+//Only available when automatic mode is switched off// \\
+Opens the properties dialogue **[[:block-gen-en|Block General]]**.
+==== Background... ====
+Sets the symbol background colour with the standard "Colour dialogue" of the operating system. \\
+For a transparent background, "Black" must be set.
+==== Enable alternative SVG ====
+Enables a second graphic container (if any) of the symbol. Usually used for flashing symbols. \\

+The counterpart of the empty block is [[#set_locomotive_assignment|Set Locomotive assignment...]].
+> **Note:** This should __not__ be used as long as the locomotive is running in automatic mode! \\ Rule of thumb: If the locomotive is displayed in more than one block (block colours red, yellow, blue) do not use this command. If necessary, use [[#soft_reset_locomotive_auto_mode|Soft reset locomotive auto mode]] or [[#reset_locomotive_auto_mode|Reset locomotive auto mode]].
+==== Start Locomotive ====

+Starts the automatic mode for this loco. Same as **[[:loc-tab-en#start_stop|Start]]** in the context menu of the locomotive tab (see there). \\
