Additional problem

My caboose tracks are in the classification yard. My engines in engine yard.

If i ask for a caboose and list the engine yd first it finds an engine but fails when it cant find the caboose. If i list the classification yd first it cant find an engine,

Is there a solution as i would like to list things as they physically are rather than create a dummy set of caboose tracks in the engine yard. Is there a way to tie the dummy tracks to see the real ones.

Tony

Thank you

What i settled on is to include the departure and arrival tracks as well as locations for each of my loops, such as industrial loop where the 3 industrial areas are tied to and 4 main lines selecting the path train should take, all as separate locations but set ‘set outs’ and ‘pickups’ to 0 on the route the train will take.

Since i hope to automate the train i want the operations manifest to look like the transit that will be used.

The problem i thought i had with all industries in industrial area 1 being spurs at that location didnt cause a problem. ?The program saw all the industries, even though all i told it was industrial area 1.?

I have a transfer area. How do i get the program to drop cars off so another train can pick them up.?

Also in creating a train it asks how many engines. If i say 1 thing work. If i say 2 i get errors about not finding any engine. ?If i say 1 i can enter a road name. If i say 2 i can enter a name but the second window in the name area wont allow an entry. What am i doing wrong? ?Does the 2 engines have to be tied in the engine roster?

Also in the engine roster when i click ‘b’ unit the ‘a’ unit also has a ‘b’ next to it.

What’s happening there?

Hi Tony,

Your route to assemble the train on the departure track would look like this:

engine yd -> classification yd -> departure yd (track)

Then you would create another train that leaves the departure yd and services your industry.

departure yd (track) -> specific industry -> arrival yd (track)

Then another train to disassemble the train:

arrival yd? (track) -> classification yd -> engine yd

The complication is specifying a departure and arrival track for the your trains.? The program when building the first train doesn't know which industry the train is for, and will have difficulties choosing the right cars. If you eliminated those tracks and used them to assemble the train without the program knowing about them, your route is simplified to this:

engine yd -> classification yd -> specific industry -> classification yd -> engine yd

The program will only pull cars from your classification yd that the specific industry needs.? You only need one train to do this route, rather than three with your approach.

OneDrive is actually the "something similar" to DropBox I use all the time (it comes with my job, so to speak...)? I can't find where it is supported by Raspbian, but you're right, it works great between PCs and Macs - you just synch the JMRI folders between machines.

Re: Cannot edit problem turnouts

#150201

Fraser,

There were a number of problems that needed to be fixed.

Signal masts Rel1Buf and Rel8Buf were not attached to their buffer stops.  I deleted them and re-added them.  The signal mast logic will need to be updated.

There was one transit defined, but its section list contained null sections.  I deleted the transit.

Turnouts SW10, SW11 and SW23 had references to layout blocks that did not exist.  My normal method of fixing those did not work so I had to manually create the layout blocks from scratch.  The related blocks did exist.

There were a lot of connectivity errors.  Slip ladders are tricky.  The connecting track segment between slips has to have the correct block assigned.  I have not found a pattern for which slip should supply the block name.  Sometimes it is the slip above the track segment and sometimes below.  One or the other should eliminate the connectivity errors.

SL2 also had a connectivity error, but it also had block issues.  I found references to SL2, SL2-3 and SL2-SW02.  I ignored SL2-3 and SL2-SW02 since I did not know why they exist.  SL2 did have a layout block assigned which did exist, but its related block did not.  I manually created the block to satisfy that relationship.

I have uploaded an updated panel xml file to your folder.

I recommend that you use JMRI 4.13.1.  It fixes the aspect speeds for the BR-2003 signal mast system.

I have recently updated to 4.12 and now find that when I open my panelpro file I have errors on three turnouts of missing blocks. I would normally just right click on the turnout that needs attention but for these three turnouts right clicking does nothing. I have uploaded my xml file and console log to Problem with editing turnouts in Problems being worked on. I see that there also other problems in the console log but I'm unsure whether these are serious or not as I don't really know what is being complained about. I'm sure with a previous version of JMRI I had this layout opening without errors. 
Any help gladly received.
Thanks

Thanks again to all who advised turning off the verbal readback.? Worked fine, was able to adjust all sounds, although I didn't get any generator sound. ?

Hi Dave,

For Decoder Pro?? Or, for the Wow decoder?? For Decoder Pro it's V4.12.? I don't see anywhere else other than the Roster Entry that tells me about the individual decoder, which is the following:

Decoder Family: Wow Steam Sound 4
Decoder Model: Wow Steam 101 SS4

I run 3 different computers, all running Windows 10, and keep the JMRI flies in a OneDrive directory. In Settings I point the File Locations to the OneDrive directory. Backup is to the local JMRI directory (because I’m old and don’t trust Microsoft). I keep both DecoderPro and PanelPro files on OneDrive. I’ve never had a problem syncing between computers.

USB stick? Which Pi? Hard to do on Pi Zero, not impossible, just hard. E-mail - Raspbian in

cludes Chrome so a gmail account would work. I used a removable USB hard drive to transfer to my Pi2.

Tom,

? ? ?A while back TCS told me to remove the Keep Alive pack to program succesfully.? If you dont want to do that I suggest using the PTB100 programming booster.? Also I use Page mode in reading and writing my WOW decoders.

Hidden tables

#150192

Hi, Way back in May I asked you good people for help. I was using PanelPro but couldn't access the tables. I was running version 4.11 so you advised an update to version 4.12.
We were preparing our large layout for it's first public show so were reluctant to change a system that was working (even with the tables hidden).
I'm reporting here that the show was a success and that I've now updated to 4.12 and the tables have been revealed.
Many thanks.
Martin.

Go to the last pane in Decoder Pro and read the firmware version.

I'm using 'Resilio Sync' () to sync a MAC, a Windows 10 PC and a Raspberry Pi.
It's a peer-to-peer solution (no server).
I found it the lighter solution for Pi.
I also created a 'hard link' on the windows 10 PC to mirror dirs/files with Google Drive (but this is not needed).
