Some simply modification would solve shunting work problems!

  • Hello!


    PROBLEM EXPLANATION at EXAMPLE:
    Some depot at railroad layouts have not any Turn-Table!
    Therefore, You cannot rotate locomotives !
    Nevertheless, almost all modern locomotives can use each side as front side!


    Let us consider such situation:
    Locomotive is moving from depot into receiving-departure yard by using Commander.
    Locomotive join into train so that its front cabine watching onto vagon.
    As a result, locomotive must work as locomotive with reverse direction.
    If we launch a route we will have wrong direction of train motion and crash will happened!
    Usage of Decoder "CV"s for reversing is not convenient!


    I SUGGEST:
    Please allow placing 2 checkboxes at menu of choosing locomotives for ZNR fields at track diagramm.
    Direction:
    (*) - Forvard
    (*) - Reverse
    And use this Flag at "Commander" logic.


    It would be extremely convenient!


    FOR FUTURE:
    Please correct logic of firmware where direction selection of motion in routes would be unambiguously associated with track-plan, using start and end contacts irrespective from direction of locomotive. Direction of locomotive must be choosed in ZNR menu, and, then, passed for all routes by relay - race automatically.
    During shunting (locomotive change) this direction must be easily corrected in ZNR menu.
