This is a zip file that has everything in it. I think once you see this it will clarify what you need to do. This allows you to operate the switches and test the occupancy.

Here is a Panel Pro file with the Layout panel setup. I'm not sure where you are in JMRI but hopefully it will help. Your JMRI file did not work for me so I created one for you.

In any case I think you need to jump ahead to test out the operation of your track before you go further. That way you will not have to alter the track once its laid. If you want more control then disconnect the link and provide its own BDL feed. You can break A4 into 2 sections with isolaters on the track but can connect them together below track. It does not matter because you can tie them together below the track. I posted an overview of JMRI the BDL168 and more.Ĭreate as many sections as you can.

The reason I suggest this now is, its easier to perform operation test via software here than wire everything just to find out its not what you want. Trying to undo anything will be a nightmare once you wire it in.ĭon't let this image intimidate you just use it as a guideline to what needs to be done. Using the control panel you can designate which section is occupied and what the effects will be when it is. Using JMRI's control panel you can start to configure your layout/sections to support the operations that you want to occur. With that I counted 27 sections in order to keep things running smoothly. The stop locations are any segment of track that the train can stop for any given reason. Based on what I saw your layout has 14 stop locations. It has the Control panel module that lets you visualize your layouts configuration. I think you have the bulk of the task under control and I will add this suggestion.Īlthough this might seem out of sequence it is far more effective. This means accurate stopping for running with automation software. So, station and siding have 'slow down' block for most of length and then short 'stopping' block. Secondly, where I want front car of consist to stop accurately I add a 'stopping' section as per the link above. Have you no detection on your double cross overs? I have not used because I'm unfamiliar with how they are wired. For example, I would add the yard turn outs to the Y1 block, as you wouldn't want two consists running through the turn outs at the same time. You should think of a block as a piece of track where it is critical that only one consist be at any time. To me, these sections need block detection. Please allow me to make several observations:įirstly, AM = no block detection right? So, how will you know the busy sections of track with crossings and turn outs are occupied? This is where collisions can occur. Have since finished wiring 2 detection blocks B1 & B2 which also seems to work well.ĭid you have a chance to read this post and it's attachments? Tested all sections wired to a single track and all works well. There is one AR (Auto reversing section) which is to be routed through an Digitrax AR1.Ī picture of the wiring for the electronics board is also attached. 'Passing through' is an Anyrail software reference. All turnouts are located in the AM 'Passing through' section.

The B-rail of the Digitrax PM 42 feeds into the BDL168 for block detection as below:ī: 8 Blocks (of which 2 are located in the Yard)ĪM areas are not block-detection and hence do not route through the BDL168. The 4 DS64's have their own dedicated power supply and do not feed off the PM 42. Not entirely sure regarding wiring for turnout areas as some say turnouts should be excluded from block detection which is what I have done. Slowly getting there with all the wiring that block detection entails!Īttached is the latest layout colour coded for all the Detection/ Passing through sections.
