If you receive a teletype, the Teletype bulb on the panel will illuminate and you will hear the printer typing. Until then, you may have to route your other trains around it or deal with the ensuing delays. You will receive a teletype informing you of this event. After a while, the collision will be cleared from the track. If two trains ever occupy the same block at the same time, there will be a collision. In this case, you will see the following indication: Note that the panel will not allow you to clear a train onto a switch if it is already occupied. In our example, Train 484 now moves onto the Cleveland Switch block. The track is now switched and westbound traffic has the green signal. This is the route we desire, but it does not take effect until you push the Command button at beneath the two switches. Therefore we want the Switch set to R (for reverse, or the “switched” track) and the Signal set to L so left traffic has the right of way (the green signal). In this example, we have a train waiting at the Cleveland block. Trains are routed using a combination of the CTC panel’s switch, signal and command controls. For example, Trains 859 and 484 need to exit on the main while Train 194 needs to exit at Central Yard. If the location is not shown on the model board, the train needs to exit on the main track. For example, Train 117 is coming in from the east on the main. If there is no corresponding FROM location on the model board, the train is currently on the main track. For example, Train 914 will be entering from the Milwaukee branch. If the FROM entry matches an endpoint, you’ve found it. To determine which train corresponds to the lights on the model board of the CTC panel, look at the FROM column on the timetable.
Here we have three trains, two westbound from New York and Baltimore and one eastbound from Milwaukee. The same button or key will also hide the timetable. It is accessible by tapping the TIMETABLE button on the panel or pressing the “T” key on your keyboard. The timetable lists the trains currently under your control. Note that the train will almost immediately occupy the first block, so make sure you don’t already have a train there or one is about to be. To grant the train’s request, click the illuminated bulb. One of the endpoints will illuminate and you will hear a bell chime. Trains announce their presence in your territory by requesting a “slot”, that is, requesting passage on the tracks you control. If you forget to enable touch, you may still do so on the main game screen by tapping the DTAP TOUCH button. This is a workaround I am currently using until I figure out a better way to handle more responsive touch events. However, if you want to play the game with touch controls, tap the Options button and select the Enable Touch Controls option. There is a nice, short introduction to how this works at Logic Rail Technologies. These controls set the track turnouts and determine which tracks show green or red lights. This is done by setting routes on a CTC panel. A CTC dispatcher’s job is to route trains through his or her territory safely and efficiently. Railroad Dispatcher is based on real-life Centralized Traffic Control, or CTC. Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) Primer.It would not surprise me if each layout consisted of over 50 hours of labor. The reason I charge is due to my knowledge of how Track Builder works and the number of hours I put into each layout.
Train dispatcher 3.5 install free#
There is a large selection of free layouts on the file section as well as on the signalcc website. I have no affiliation with the game developer, I only make layouts for my own enjoyment and thought others would also enjoy them. You need to purchase the TD3.5 program here: If you have any interest at all in rail operations or the Rail Traffic Control side of things, I highly recommend this game. I often post live streams of TD3.5 on my youtube page, and I encourage you to check it out before you buy it. My Facebook page Crossbuck Productions is connected as wellįocusing on as close to real rail operations as possible, modeling current Canadian and American operations, Included you will find Canadian National, Canadian Pacific, EXO, GO Transit, VIA Rail and others. AboutCreated by Tyler M, these layouts are for a program called Train Dispatcher 3.5.
