In order to be able to realize more complex track plans, e.g. with reversing loops it is helpful to understand that each block has a default entry-side ("in") and a default exit-side ("out").
When setting up a route Rocrail makes an internal definition regarding the exit and entry sides of the blocks connected by that route. Any route between two blocks has 4 possible combinations of exit and entry configurations, as shown in the table below:
"from-block" (exit) | "to-block" (entry) | type of route | Comment | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | out | in | default route | this is the "normal" routing case |
2 | out | out | swap placement post (spp) set | the train enters to "to-block" from the other end |
3 | in | out | run direction reverse (rdr) set | the train use at both blocks the other ends |
4 | in | in | rdr & spp set | the train leaves and enters via "in" |
The rule: All routes connected to a block must use parameter settings resulting in the same "in" and "out" sides for that block.
Rocrail will swap the direction of a train automatically if this is needed for a transition between two routes 1) 2).
