Auto Train Stopper?

[gauramohana]

i have certain sidings where the trains should stop. But i'm very impatient, and i usally manage to de-rail the trains
Is there a way to put a trigger, or make the "rail end " object actually stop the train by itself?
i currenty use TRS 2006, but if the dload goes like it is going right now, TRS 2009 shouild be done in 42 hours (im on a 20kbps download connection)

There are buffers, if the siding is a spur, or you can use the "Stop Train" command....

Problem is, trains in all versions of trainz go through buffers, and the stop train command is only available in DCC.

One of the hardest things to get people to understand is that trains are not cars and cannot be driven like cars. Some rail operators even choose to employ people with heavy vehicle experience as train drivers for that reason; they already know that you can't stop a train in under 20 yards. If you're using Cab mode for the sake of realism, drive realistically and slow down before you need to stop. Very impatient train drivers don't last very long in the real world as over-running signals & stations and colliding with buffers & other rollingstock is not generally seen as career-enhancing...

If you want to retain your impatience, use DCC mode.

yeah. i always use DCC mode. AMAOF i dont know how to use the CAB mode.
how DO i make the train auto stop at a buffer?

[Tokkyu40]

Most buffers seem to be buffer shaped signals. They stop the AI controlled trains by telling the AI driver that they're really a red signal.
Loose cars and users can't see that the buffer is red, so they roll right through.
I've heard of buffers with attachment points that physically stop the train from moving through, but I may be remembering wrong and if I'm right, I don't know what they would be called so you could find them.

Hi gauramohana

Try ways to slow it down such as invisible speedboards placed on the siding track well before the buffers. If that does not slow it enough you can try conditional speed restrictions on the main track before the divergence to the siding.
If you are driving to a trackmark on the siding there are special ways of designing the track and buffer placement which will ensure the train stops close to the buffers.

Obviously the approach speed and train weight affect the stopping distance.

Please ask if need more information

This should stop the train from about 10 mph and under. I believe.
Any faster and derail.
