This is my first go at JMRI. I have loaded all my cars, locations, made 2 train and 2 routes. The build works just fine. I have departure and arrival tracks at 3 of my main terminals. I am wondering how I define them in the program. The switch list has my train switching at those teminals also. I live in Bloomington Mn.

Martin,

Most would agree that you and your operators should decide which arrival and departure tracks to use rather than the program.? Here's the link to the help:

that's kinda what I gathered from reading the manual. So an operator builds a train from the switch list, hands it over to the nest operator that takes it to the next city and drops the train off on the arrival track where the local switcher delivers the cars.

Dan and Martin,

I've defined all my tracks in JMRI (J), whether I want J to use them or not.? With the new "export locations" feature, it helps me keep an inventory of the tracks on the RR.

If I don't want J to use them, such as a lead which I will use for building/arrivals/departures, I will tell J that that track accepts NO car types (clear all), so J won't attempt to place anything there.? My crews then know that the particular piece of track is theirs to play with as needed.

For Chris' question: When you same "same staging location" I assume that you mean a J location with multiple tracks.? What you do is define each staging track and specify for each track the specific trains that may arrive and depart on that track.?

Hi Jon,?

Thanks very much.? I've no idea how I missed that.??
