priority handling

[peteredlin]

Hello, i dont know how to solve the following problem.

Two trains are manipulating the same junction(s) and get stuck

How to give the train at one track section a higher priority than the train at the other section.

Track priority markers (found in the same place as track direction marker) and train priority (r/click on the loco, in details alter it ). Match them and in theory a priority 3 consist gets priority on a 3 track.
Another way is control track/junction at t/mark and release at t/mark. Obviously 1 before the junction and 1 after it clears junction.

Thanks for helping me out.But i dont realy understand the trackmark thing.
Lets say we have a junction like this:
______------- B
____-----
A -------------------+-------------------------- C

How do i give B priority over C and A priority over B?

How do i prefent this junction from being able to get stuck.

If your getting a three way meet it's not so simple.
I don't think control track at t/mark will help unless they arrive in order A B C.
I try to re-work the track if I get continual snags like that, Give A full line speed, B half of that, C 10 mph. You may need to re jig the signal spacings.
Finally if they still don't play ball give C a 10 min wait command, B a 5 min wait command. A will take control of the track.
