Differentiate trains based on length?

Beitrag von 1993matias »

Hi, just a quick question. Is there any way to tell trains apart based on length only? For example, I have a platform where trains of different length have to stop in different places. Rather than filter by train number, I imagine it would be easier to filter by length - but is it possible?

Hello,

Yes, since many years...

Wherever you can find a route list - for instance at station platforms at "For following routes only" - you can enter something like

Code: Alles auswählen

*(l<15)
That means the stopping point is valid for trains of less than 15 elements length only.

You can find more possible conditions and examples in the BAHN Help at "route list".

This is shown in the example layout "Demo_0.nt3" that comes with any BAHN installation package. Look at the central railway station at the tracks 1 to 4.
