+  * **Blockrate and Classes**
+\\
+\\
+===== Example for using blockrates, classes =====
+\\
+For this example how to use blockrates, classes and variables and a combination of them, we take a look at the following plan (see pic below): \\
+\\
+{{:variable:variable-plan-en.png?1000}}\\
+\\
+As you see we have two trains, lok1 with adress 1 and lok2 with adress 2.\\
+We have two startblocks called start1 and start2, they lead over switches to the blocks called up1 and up2 or to the blocks called down1 and down2.\\
+The direction is only to the right.\\
+\\
+So when we start now the automatic and start all trains, the change is 50:50 weather a train goes to the upper road (via block up1) or to the down road (via block down1).\\
+(If both blocks up1 and down1 are free and not occupied by another train or closed).\\
+\\
+And now we want to change this change with blockrates.\\
+\\
+\\
+==== Using blockrates ====
+\\
+We go now in the properties of block up1 and change the random rate to 8 (see pic below):
+\\
+{{:variable:variable-plan-en-rate.png?600}}\\
+\\
+We do the same with the block down1, but here we set the random rate to 2!\\
+\\
+When we start now over again, we will see, that a train in average choose in 8 of 10 cases the upper road and in 2 of 10 cases the down road!\\
+\\
+But now we want more.\\
+The goal is now, that train lok1 always take the upper road (via block up1), but train lok2 shall use in average in 8 cases up1 and in 2 cases down1.\\
+So how we can reach this goal? -> With classes!\\
+\\
+==== Using classes ====
+\\
+We go in the train database and set for lok1 under properties-details the class 'lok1' (see pic below):\\
+\\
+{{:variable:variable-plan-en-lokdb-class.png?600}}\\
+\\
+We do now the same for lok2, but lok2 get the class 'lok2'!\\
+\\
+\\
+Now we set for block up1 the class: lok1,lok2 (under properties-permissions - see pic below):\\
+\\
+{{:variable:variable-plan-en-block-class.png?600}}\\
+\\
+For the block down1 we set the class only to lok2!\\
+\\
+The result:\\
+lok1 can now only choose the upper road (via block up1), because this is the only block, where the class lok1 is allowed!\\
+lok2 will choose in average of 8 cases block up1 and in 2 cases block down1, because both blocks have the class lok2 and the blockrates are 8 to 2!\\
+\\
+\\
+==== Changing classes with actions ====
+\\
+lok1 has as you see in the picture above the class 'lok1'\\
+To change this we need a new action (In this example we want to set the lok class to xy and xyz):\\
+\\
+{{:variable:action-class-en.png?360}}\\
+\\
+Then we can call this action. The action will be done by every lok if we set no conditions in the conditions tab.\\
+\\
+{{:variable:action-class-set-en.png?360}}\\
+\\
+The result is, that the lok has now the new classes xy and xyz:\\
+\\
+{{:variable:action-class-set-en.png?360}}\\
+\\
+\\
+To change the block class, do it the same way:\\
+\\
+{{:variable:action-block-class-en.png?360}}\\
+{{:variable:block-newclass-en.png?360}}
