Kilometre stone

Kilometre stones lettered with the line's position and shown on the track map.

Along German lines, small white stones mark the position in kilometres: the kilometre on top, the hectometre below, for example "12" over "4" for km 12.4. The Kilometre Stone does the same, on both broad sides, so you can read it from either direction.

Lettering a stone

Place it beside the track

Place the Kilometre Stone next to the line. Like signals, it can also stand diagonally.

Click it with the wrench

A click with Create's wrench opens a small window with the field Kilometre. Without the wrench the stone only says "Letter it with the wrench".

Type the position

You typeThe stone shows
12,4 or 12.412 on top, 4 below
1212 alone, larger, in the middle
emptynothing, the stone stays blank

The window shows beforehand what will stand on the stone ("The stone shows 12, below it 4."). Only digits count, at most four digits of kilometre and one of hectometre; leading zeros are dropped.

On the track map

Lettered stones appear on the track map of the signal box as a small grey dot with their value, also where the area is not loaded. Labels of stations, level crossings and trains go first where space is short.

A stone every kilometre, or every 500 m on busy lines, makes the track map much easier to read. In creative mode **Ctrl
  • pick block** copies a stone with its lettering; then just change the number.
