Minimum Speed Rule?

[KCS617]

wats up everyone, i made a subway system and wat the subways do is once they reach there destination. there's a switch of junctons, so they could go back on the oppsite track. But after switching junctions, the speed goes from 30mph to 17. Is there a rule for the minimum speed a trai can go.

If you have less than 3 Signals on your line Trainz AI will treat it as "Unsignalled" and reduce the speed to 18 MPH.Put more Signals on the affected line and the speed will go back to the Default speed of 40 MPH.

ok. thankz. but i also a putting upte signals. the lights only stay on red. y wont they change

Don"t know without seeing your route.If you build a route and don"t place Bufferstops.Railends and (usually) a Signal at the end of it the AI will refuse to move.If you move the Cursor over the red signal it will tell you why it is red.

TRS does not like it when you do a loop back. becouse it likes to control the junction infront of it. and won't switch the junction if there is anouther train aproaching it. So the train that it see's is acualy itself and it gets confused.

Put a spur track going off into no mans land on the loop and you should be fine. Just make sure that the train going around the loop fits between each junction. and you signal the track correctly.

I found this sight very helpful in understanding correct signaling
