Visual Representation

Track, default
Track with route set
Track, occupied

Ordinary track is represented as black paths with a light. The colour indicates various states of the track. The default state of track is dark. When a route has been set over the track, the light is white. As soon as a train occupies a section of track, the corresponding track tiles light up red.

A section of track may be represented by one track tile, or many. Whenever a track changes state, all corresponding track tiles change together.

There are some things to remember about tracks:

  • there is no indication about what type of rollingstock is currently occupying a track
  • there is no indication about how many cars, or how many distinct consists there are on a track
  • the track light could be broken
