Signals tab

Set the speed indicators of light signals, switch speed boards and set switching signals from the signal box, without walking to the line.

The Signals tab lists the equipment along the line that the signal box can set from a distance. Select an entry on the left; its settings appear on the right.

Light signals

Every Light Signal placed in the world appears here, with its type and position. The name is given at the signal itself (with Create's wrench); from here you set its digits:

ButtonEffect
Zs 3: …Digit of the speed indicator above the screen: no limit set, 1 to 9 (10 to 90 % of top speed) or clear limit (100 %).
Zs 3v: …Digit of the advance speed indicator below the screen, or dark.

A signal without Zs 3 and Zs 3v says so; the indicators are switched on at the signal itself. What the digits do to the trains is described under Signals.

Speed boards

Speed boards (Lf 7, Lf 2, Lf 3) can be switched on and off here, and their digit changed: at most digit × 10 % of top speed. A board applies to trains that have it on their right.

Switching signals

Switching signal signs (Zs and Sh) have three modes:

ModeMeaning
AutomaticSwitches with its signal or the substitute signal.
OnSwitched on by hand.
OffSwitched off by hand.

"Automatic" releases the signal again after it was set by hand. Change lettering gives a sign a new lettering. A shunting signal held at Sh 1 by an active route stays there whatever the mode says.

A desk with a control area only lists and sets what stands inside its area.
