Route Permissions
Caution in dealing with permissions! Only set when really needed and desired. Failure to correctly set permissions mean that trains do not find a destination and are a recurring theme in the forum. |

Description
To prevent certain Locomotives and or Trains using a route this tab can be used to define which are permitted or not.
The include list is evaluated first. If empty the exclude list is evaluated.
Note: Permissions will be respected in automatic mode without defined destination. In automatic mode with defined destination, however, permissions are not respected for the destination block and the route to the destination block! Hence, with a given destination it is possible to move a loco or a train into a block by, e.g. drag and drop, although the loco- or train-type is not allowed in this block.
Type
Specifies which train types are allowed. All are allowed if no train type is selected.
Further information is found Here.
Max. train length
If set greater than zero it will be compared with the length of the requesting train.
The route cannot be used when the train length (+ Min Block - Train length) exceeds the max. train length allowed.
Min. train length
If set greater than zero it will be compared with the length of the requesting train.
The route will not permit it to use when the train length is less then the min. length allowed.
Length
Length of the route between IN of the starting block and ENTER of the target block
This length is used for Realtime Calculation in Virtual Automatic only.
Note: The route length between ENTER and IN of the target block have to be set in the block length between enter and in
Radius
This number reflects the smallest radius of a train, locomotive or wagon that can safely operate in this route.
If a train, locomotive or wagon has as minimum radius bigger than the radius in a route, the route won't be taken.
No checking is done, if this field is zero.
Commuter trains
Yes
Allow commuter trains.
Only
Allow commuter trains only.
This option will reject all normal trains to use this route.
No
Disallow commuter trains.
Placing
See: Loco Interface
Both
All placing types are allowed.
Default
Only placing default is allowed.
Swapped
Only placing swapped is allowed.
Auto mode
Both
Schedule and random are both allowed.
Schedule
Only trains running a schedule are allowed.
Random
Only trains without running a schedule are allowed.
Class
A comma separated list of allowed Loco Classes.
- This has no effect if left empty.
- Can be modified by the Route action class.
Era
The allowed Loco Eras. All are allowed if no Era is selected.
