Still need where speed can be controlled when using automation

?Any info on how to find any other variables controlling speed during automation.
The engines ,3 of them, ?dont run very fast even at 100% speed by ?throttle but the automation is running them at a hardly moving speed when i set speed to max in blocks and 200% in creation. ?Thus they stop when going over switches as they have no momentum to get them past the 1.5 inch throwing mechanism which does not have power.

?Dear Steve

Some of my engines run extremely slow in automation ?and run faster with throttle control. ?My speed in the block table is maximum and my speed in create train is 200% maximum.

Where else is speed during automation controlled?

Also i noticed the last table in the list of tables was something like warrants but it’s no longer there. ?Why was that page eliminated and if it was warrents where are the warrents settings now

What you describe sounds like you are using "head only". Try loco by itself with the correct length and "full trian" detection.

The signal speeds if using SML come from the Warrents tab in Edit->preferences.
If using speedprofiling then make sure you are using the correct scale.
If not using speed profile, you should make the maxlinespeed as 100. That would normally be the fasted speed of any block. That is the base speed for? the layout by throttle setting %.
For SML "Basic Model Signals"? to get the top speed, green signal just past and green signal ahead, 4 sections clear sections ahead.
Using "No Signals" you would only need to allocated two empty ahead,? it only uses "Normal" and "Medium" and? zero. Set all block speeds to "Normal" and make "Normal" = 100.

Thank you
I will try those things

Dear Steve
I am using sml virtual signals.?
You say to get max speed i need 4 sections with a green light which i cant get.
I get most of the time 2 allocated blocks followed by an occupied block in front of a moving train so i assume the signals are green/yellow/red.
Every block is set to maximum speed in the block table.
When i create a train i enter about 50% for my fast engines and 100% for my slow engines.

In the warrants table in preferences max is defaulted to 119, normal to 100, medium and slow to 50.

What does clicking %script mean??

Does it mean the percentage of the max speed i set in creating the train.?
Thus the fast train that i set to 50% in creation will run at 100% of the speed i set which is 50% and 25% when slowing down while the slow train i set @100 will run at its maximum speed it can do and 50% when running slow?

?I assume that automation tells the train to run at normal speed and when it slows down when entering 2 blocks before an occupied block it slows down to medium speed. ? Is that correct ?

What does clicking %throttle mean?

Thus fast train now doesnt use the 50 i set in creating it but uses normal 100% and thus fly off the track and uses 50 to slow down and the slow train i set at 100 runs at 100 normally and goes to 50 in slow down?

How can i force trains going at speed i set when creating the train when it has a green/yellow/red signal in front of it as it moves.

What is speed profiling?
What is “maxlinespeed?
