This is in a way a continuation of my previous thread "Programming Automated Trains", but it is a new question.

?

I am trying to get my first train to run, but can't set it up.? It will run a train forward from one staging block to the next.? Only two Sections involved, no turnout involved,either.

When I fill out the New Train form, and click Create, it says there is missing direction information in two places in the Signal Logic.? I have checked the Signal Logic for the signal between the two Sections and the Signal at the end of the Destination Section.? I can't find any reference to direction when I open Set Logic.

?

I fear the answer to this, but I have used SSL to set Signal Heads throughout my? Panels.? Is Dispatcher dependent on Signal Mast Logic?

Dispatcher supports signal heads with SSL, signal masts with SML or None.

For signal heads with SSL, you must have direction sensors defined in the sections and added to the SSL. ?The easy way to update the SSL is to use the "Tools -> Set Direction Sensors in SSL" menu item. ?Make sure that you have resolved all issues as shown in the JMRI system console.

Thanks.? I'll work on that this afternoon and evening.

If I have an Anchor Point in a Block where the same Block bends on my panel, do I have to set up signal heads at the AP?? The only reason for the AP is to allow the Block to turn.

?

I'm trying to Activate New Train going from Stg 1 Right to Stg 1 Left, click the Create button and console says:

?

14:46:30,023 jmri.implementation.DefaultSection ? ?WARN ?- Section - Sct-Stg 1 Right (IY09) , 1 anchor point signal heads missing [AWT-EventQueue-0]
14:46:30,023 jmri.implementation.DefaultSection ? ?WARN ?- Section - Sct-Stg 1 Left (IY01) , 2 anchor point signal heads missing [AWT-EventQueue-0]

If both track segments attached to an anchor point have the same block, then signal heads are not required.

Signal heads are required if the anchor point is also a block boundary, such as your staging tracks.

Question from a newbie : what is an anchor point ?

Jean Louis,

The "anchor point" connects two track segments.
