Variable length of stay depending on the vehicle group

length of stay

Some model railroaders would like to be able to select the dwell time in a block depending on the vehicle group. The dwell time should be the same everywhere for a given vehicle group, but adjustable differently for each vehicle group from a central location.

Here's a concrete example:

• Express train 10-second stop
• Branch line 5-second stop
• 'Freight trains should pass through without stopping

Vehicle Group

Silvio Richter has created a guide for this:

• The instructions can be downloaded as a PDF at: Variable_Stop.pdf.

The implementation is achieved by using block exit locks and defining a global time variable for each vehicle group.

A "residence macro" is created for this purpose, which releases the block exit depending on the set duration. A prerequisite for this function is that the vehicles have already been created and sorted into vehicle groups.

• A demo project as a ZIP file: Variable_Stop.zip can also be downloaded.
