Configuring EIT's

[valbridge]

Simple q posed here is whether it is best to configure Interlocking towers in the route build or the session build? Does make any difference which one is chosen.

Thread 'Enhanced Interlocking Towers (EIT) - Route or Session Level?'

May 3, 2019

I have setup EIT paths at various times, mostly to see what happens. Since I am not at the level of a dozen (12) trains sharing a network over a 24 hour workday, I found no use for them. Now, apparently they are needed as a foundation for a timetable management system of a railroad. So back to EITs.

I realized that one foundational question I had missed - Session or route? That is, do you install this system at the route or session level? Or, are the "golden pathways" at the route level and the rules governing their application at the session level?

Interesting Blue.....does this mean setting up paths in a newly created session and saving such for any future created session which include them? Example...set up session for EIT's only then using same [session] for any newly created session ; [kind of save session as] and leaving the original EIT session as initially created?

Here is a link about saving to Session VS Route, and different affects on which you saved it too.

Thread 'Saving routes and sessions'

Jan 20, 2020

When I created a new route in Trainz 19 and added some trains in routw surveyor I choose Save route and session (I call it, lets say session a). I start editing the session with the trains I have added. The next time I work on my route and choose Save route and do not save session. But when I want to add one more train later I do not see this it in my session a.I have to create a new session from the beginning, also the trains I have already a given commands like drive to, couple etc. Is it possible to add trains later to a session I have already created and saved. I don,t remember I had...

If I am thinking correctly, per your example, then saving the Generic way you want, needs to be in Route, With Sessions, you could have different setups for variety. And a Base Session for simplification of EIT's or considered Base Session.

In Fairness, I need to defer this to PGuy who more adept on arraignment of Route over Session. This is bit above my Pay Scale.

I have EIT's in a layer on the route layer, as it is part of the workings for running trains on the track and should not be any different for new sessions. You can always drag the EIT layer to the session layer if you want to.

You know stagecoach I have never used layers!! Maybe its about time I checked them out. When I began the route [in question for EIT's] I simply began with the route layer and never bothered utilising layers. This, I think, is a flaw in my route creation endeavours.
Never too late to learn new skills huh!

Layers, I just cowardly run away.

Excellent info, I didn't give a thought about Layers, and they are extremely powerful when used for keeping things separate or together.
