Hi Fabrice Wow - all that work and now to start again  Having nearly completed my very first layout, I do feel some of what you're feeling in the fact that what do I do with my time now  . However I have yet to set it up fully and have it running as I want. I also want to host several M Club UK days and exhibit it. So best of luck with the MkII version and may I ask what are your initial thoughts for the MkII version? Mike |

Fabrice, I have just watched your video ! It is a wonderful layout and I am particularly impressed with your operations and running of trains. You have this superbly worked out ! I really enjoy the automation of trains starting and stopping and waiting for blocks to become free. A question from me : are your blocks sequential so that the pattern repeats itself with one train always following the one in front, or does your program switch blocks around so that the tracks and sequence of the trains changes ? It reminds me of when I was at Disneyland years ago and we went on "Space Mountain" roller coaster in the darkness in and out of tunnels and climbs and drops down again. What a ride that was !  Thank you for posting a great video ! Regards,  John

John Hi John, The course is totally random. The sequence of blocks is based on the first available block compatible with the direction of the loco which is currently processed, and also compatible with the block length and train length. This random mode is the most impressive for a "demo". But there are quite a lot of parameters which can be adjusted with Rocrail... I'll investigate deeper in my next layout.  Cheers fabrice
