Overtaking a train using a station

I have set up an operating point where a "higher-value train", e.g. a passenger train, is supposed to overtake a freight train, "lower-value train", in a passing loop.

Fig.: Operating point passing loop

Check if he should swerve

Mr. Freiwald provides the following information in the forum:

Make Block 2 the:

• Approach block (green) of the passing loop. In this block, the arriving train is checked to determine whether it should pass or not.

Make blocks 1, 2, and 7:

• Control block (monitoring block). The purpose here (presumably) is to check whether the train located within it has a higher priority.

Don't choose too short a waiting time

Caution: If you have set the maximum waiting time to only 5 seconds, the slow train making the pass will continue its journey quite quickly. The following fast train will hardly have enough time to reserve enough track to prevent the slow train from doing so.

Also:

• Der letzte Block vor der Weiche zum Ausweichgleis sollte grün sein.
• Alle Blöcke vor der Weiche, in denen schnellere Züge beachtet werden sollen, sollten gelb sein.
