Locked Re: Turnouts still displaying block occupancy from reassigned block detectors

Ken,

Thanks for your response. LT201, LT202, LT212 are crossovers. LT203 and LT205 are turnouts arranged as a crossover. All the rest of LTxxx are turnouts. I do not believe I tried to change any from right to left hand or vis versa. Did the XML file suggest that I had?

For LT203 and LT205, I set the signal heads as though they were normal turnouts and then removed the two "C" leg signal heads. The SSLs for this arrangement seem to work correctly.

John,

Looked at the panel file. It seems somehow you have some normal left or
right hand turnouts but they have block name entries for b, c, and d which
would be only correct for crossovers. Was the panel file ever edited by hand
outside of JMRI? That's the simplest way for this to happen. Like the type=
got changed but the extra block entries did not get removed.

Inside JMRI you'd have to delete the one type of turnout to be able to
create the other type of turnout. AFAIK you can't change the turnout type.
If it started life as a left hand, it stays that, etc... even though you can
drag things around to make it draw like a right hand. Slips and crossovers
are even worse as the number of parts that change the drop and add is the
normal way.
