Hi Rob and any readers interested in EITs and MCM..
I fully agree with Brian, and as I have still for testing purpose an old running copy of Tane SP4 build 105766, I have gone back to this version to make a demo route in format 4.5 showing how to use EIT and MCM with single track routes.
You can download the cdp with this demo route and session at
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ao4KHd0vFBWkrP1iGpHLpQ5FMVgkuA?e=04zI3b
All dependencies should be either Tane SP4 105766 base or builtin or available for download on the DLS. The link points to my OneDrive shared data and should remain available for at least 2 weeks.
The route has 2 terminal stations with 4 platforms connected by a single track railroad with 2 intermediate stations used as passing places : the first one with two platforms and the second one with three platforms. All platforms are protected again multiple assignment using track circuit blocks. Destination and intermediate stops are defined using MCPathStop dedicated trackmarks and driving from one stop to the next one following an MCM path is done using AutoDriveToMCPathStop.
The demo includes 6 trains : 3 in each terminal station and uses 2 mission codes for travelling Eastbound or Westbound and by launching the session you will see how the EITs and MCM regulates the trafic so that all trains crosses trains going the other direction in the intermediate station passing places.
There is one EIT for each terminal station and two EITs for each intermediate station (one for each eastbound and westbound direction). All EITs are dynamic, which demonstrate how dynamic ownership may be usefull to have paths from two distinct dynamic towers overlapping (except entry signals that cannot be shared) .
The signals and the rolling stock are french type available on the DLS. Let me know if I have done any error and there is a remaining missing kuid ...
And after trying the demo, if there is anything not clear and needing more explanations do not hesitate to ask here or by PM ...
Hope this demo may help. I have not published it on DLS as it needs some more scenery on it to be more realistic ... May be I will do it if I have enough time in the incoming weeks. If you want to make a copy of the route changing the signals and rolling stock to your prefered ones, feel free to do it and to try anything. This has only been made to help newcomers to understand how EITs and MCM can work and make easy to create some AI trains to populate your route ...
Regards.
Pierre.
