The point of a classification yard is to act as a place to transfer cars from one train to another, enroute to the car's final destination, which is NOT the classification yard (final destination could be another yard track though).? Let's say there is train A and train B, with location A and location B.? Train A does not go to location B, but train B does.? I have a car at location A that has a final destination of location B.? Train A would take the car to the classification yard, then train B would pick up the car and transport it to location B.??

?

I have my classification tracks set up for specific destinations, and my classification tracks will only accept a car with a final destination.? This works quite well.? Train A does terminate at the yard, but this is not the final destination for the cars.??

?

Hopefully this explanation makes sense.

I have attached the build report (I hope). The issue with the CMNT hoppers is fixed, I had put the wrong length in for the cars when I added them.

The other hoppers: CSXT 247307, 247655, 255614 can be either loaded with Dry Chem (for the paper mill) or Fertilizer (for the transload) or even shipped as MTY to be loaded at the trans load.

I know that in real life the cars would not swap load types like this but hey I only have so many cars.

Can you tell me why it will not move a car from Afton (staging) to Lyndhurst Yard and then onto the transload via the Wolfpen turn?

Thaks in advance for any help and insights.

Joe?

Thank you….Frank?

THANK YOU from Frank

I did this option you proposed:

Fred

Set the signal masts guarding the section to held.

Check that the mast is at stop before doing this.

I have a yard where rosters are doing shunting, with automatic coupling, uncoupling, (krois), back and forth with very precise positionning. It works very well with scripts.? But, sometimes, the shunter must step on a? main track of the station for a short period of time. This track may be used by large trains, which are managed by dispatcher. On my layout, one section equals one block

You are right, the stop alllocation is surely the best way. The only point is that I have plenty of Transit, and i wanted to avoid to modify them. But I will.?

Colin,

We need to see the "profile.xml" file located at "C:\Users\colin\JMRI\My_JMRI_Railroad.jmri\profile".

Upload the file to the group's ProblemsBeingWorkedOn file folder.

An update. I found that the throttles layout won't load if I have command station consisting set on the engines. A little frustrating since it used to work.

?

Would advanced consisting help?

Adding one engine at time helped narrow it down. The first glitch I found is when I added the third GP38 that was in a consist. It was setup through the Digitrax Control Station. Saved the list and it reloaded fine after eliminating the consist. I got to the very last car, a Jagerndorfer Railjet Control Car that has an ESU function decoder in it for lights. The saved throttles layout failed with this added to it.

?

Can this car be added to the throttle list or is the function decoder a problem??

?

Thanks for the suggestion, I now have seven engines that load on the throttles layout.

Afternoon,

?

I have managed to deal with the Java/ JMRI version where they both run the same versions JMRI 5.8+Rbc21ce2ce7 starts under Java 17.0.12.?? System console output is below.?? is it possible to make the JMRI reference all the settings on a USB stick that i can switch between PC's, if so how could i make the changes to implement this?

?

Thanks again in advance for any help guidance on this.

?

Regards

Colin

You cannot allocate a section unless it belongs to a train.

Why dont you schedule a train for your script train and do not set it to run automatically. The auto engineer is an add-on to the dispatcher, the prime purpose of dispatcher is running manually operated trains.

?

It would help if you give the details of what you are trying to achieve. From what you have stated you want to run a script for a train in a section, did you mean sectionS? Are there multiple blocks in the section? Are you running in and out and in and out of the section.

?

From what you have described the stop allocation sensors is perfect.

Where reading a million CVs from a ESU decoder, sometimes my DCC units will fail, and needs to be rebooted.?

JMRI will continue to try and read the Cvs.?

i would like the program to pause reading the decoder.?

?

?

Currently, I just reboot the digital command control unit and let it finish reading the CVs

?

Then go back and read changes.?

it works.?

Thanks. I will give it a try. I will also investigate what swap means. The WiThrottle works fine with my iPad, for what that's worth.

So when an inbound train arrives at the yard, since that is the final destination for the cars, the yard master has no idea where those cars will be going in the next session so he has no way to classify cars based on the next destination for that car.?

Correct.? If you want to classify cars out of your yard, the yard can't be the final destination for your cars.? What you want is the have your yard be an intermediate stop. Eventually a car does arrive at it final destination and can't be classified until its given a new final destination.? The final destination could be a yard, interchange, spur or staging.

Dan

or this

something around that ?

sorry if it is a stupid proposal, as I am rather new to java

Fred

Dave

No.

?

I understand. I just wanted to find a way to avoid to reset all transit adding "stop allocating sensor",?
