I'm a bit baffled how to set this up? I've looked at how they set these up in official maps but I can't seem to understand what numbers to input for my own signal (call ons/shunts) Anyone know how these are supposed to be setup? - Is the number indicating the amount of sections from the destination to the start of the route that can allow multple trains to access? If so how do I count the sections?
Thinking about it more, does it mean the amount of sections from the destination of the path/rotue that can allow trains to access even if occupied? Is it referring the sections between the signals or the sections of the manage track sections creates on filling? - I believe i've figured it out, from the destination signal you count how many sections (the colour lines in manage track sections) to a signal on the same track.
Not really Shure about it but I think is the section behind your signal, but I haven't understand how's work exactly
Call ons... Assuming this is for UK-style signalling. You count the track sections backwards from the end point of the route to the exit signal in the opposite direction [1] - so if there are (say) 30 total track sections for a route, you go to the furthest point of that route and count how many sections you want to allow to be occupied - let's say it's sections 30, 29, 28, 27. - so you put 4 in the call on section count. [1] if you want a reverse, say in a platform. Otherwise, if you want the move to always leave in the same direction it entered, then the call on section count is back from the end point to the appropriate fouling point. HTH.
Sorry I'm having trouble understanding this. I sorta understand but visually it'd be more helpful. So is it from the end signal to the previous signal on the same track? So like this? When counting the sections in the official maps they match up with the numbers from the call on sections in the signals.
That’s not what call ons are used for, it’s related to signals and having more than one train enter a section. This is used for coupling multiple trains.
