July 2008: I added a box to give local control of the points at
one of the stations. The box is locked until it is released by the
signalman in the control centre. The shunting staff will the set
the points locally for their shunting movements. When shunting is
complete the shunting staff must telephone the signalman, who will
restore the box to it's normal ie locked position.
December 18th the catenary reached track 1 of the other terminus.
By new year all tracks had caternary but two, which were completed
just before Easter 2008.
The layout is now completed as such. Buildings and scenery will be
added during the summer. I will glue the new houses in the garden
avoiding the toxic fumes.
I want to repeat I never mix 16 kV and 25 kV locomotives on the
layout at the same time. Tho photographs are recorded at different
occations.
I would like to mention only the signals and points (switches) are
computer controlled. The locomotives are controlled manually with
an array of control 80 and 80f's.
I am writing the software in Free Pascal and it should compile
into Linux or Windows. The current version of Linux does not
support libvga making the program windows-only.
Track sections, points and routes are edited in 3 text-files read
by the programme.
I've put all my sourcefiles on my homepage for 2 very good reasons
