The <strong>Add Location</strong> window is opened from the <span style=
|
|
"font-weight: bold;">Locations</span> window using the <span style=
|
|
"font-weight: bold;">Add</span> button at the bottom of the window. Initially only the
|
|
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Name</span> and the <span style=
|
|
"font-weight: bold;">Operations (Tracks) at this location</span> parts are active.

<p><strong>Name</strong> <input name="textfield" id="textfield" type="text"> The Location
|
|
name must be unique; OperationsPro will not allow two Locations with identical names.
|
|
However, if you want more than one Location to have the same name on your Manifests and
|
|
Switch Lists, add a hyphen and a number to the end of the Locations name. For example,
|
|
<strong>Boston-1</strong> and <strong>Boston-2</strong> will both print as
|
|
<strong>Boston</strong>. The program will remove the hyphen and number when printing
|
|
Manifests and Switch Lists.</p>
|
|
Press <span class="textbutton">Add Location</span> at the bottom of
|
|
the panel. The various fields that were disabled should now be enabled.

<p>Each Location can have several Yard, Spur, Interchange or Staging Tracks:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Yards are where Cars and Engines are placed for temporary storage.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>A Spur can be an industry or any place where a Car is loaded or unloaded.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
For a Train to service a Location, there must be at least one Track for that Location. See
|
|
<a href="#addtracks">below</a> how to add Tracks to your Location.
|
|
<p><strong>Select the rolling stock serviced by this Location</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Locations Table shows the total length of all Tracks, the amount of track that is
|
|
occupied (Used) by Cars and Engines, the total number of Cars and Engines (Rolling Stock) at
|
|
each Location, the number of Cars and Engines that will be picked up (Pickups) by Trains, and
|
|
the number of Cars and Engines that will be delivered (Drops) here by active Trains.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>This Location is serviced by trains traveling</strong> <strong><input name=
|

"checkbox" id="checkbox" type="checkbox"> North <input name="checkbox2" id="checkbox2"

|
|
"checkbox"> East <input name="checkbox4" id="checkbox4" type="checkbox"> West<br></strong>
|
|
You can decide which train direction the Location can service. For example, if only south
|
|
bound trains can access the Location, select <strong>South</strong> and deselect the other
|
|
directions. This can be useful if you want to only support trailing point switching for a
|
|
given Location. If a Location can support multiple directions then select the ones that are
|
|
appropriate.<br>

To add a Track, press the "Add [...] Track" button. Now enter the name of the Track along
|
|
with the length of the Track in scale feet or in actual inches. Append a double quote (") to
|
|
the length when entering actual inches to have OperationsPro convert the length into scale
|
|
feet. Append cm if you want to convert from centimeters to meters. Press the "Add [...]
|
|
Track" button at the bottom of the panel to add a new track to the list and activate the
|
|
disabled fields.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <span class="textbutton">Add [...] Track</span> button at the bottom of the window

<p>To add a Location, press the "Add [location]" button, which shows one of the following
|
|
types</p>
|
|
|

<p><span class="textbutton"><a href="Ops_AddSiding.shtml">Add Spur Track</a></span>

<p>Each of these buttons opens a corresponding dialog to describe its function.</p>

<h4>Save [...] Track</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>Press the <span class="textbutton">Save Location</span> button to save
|
|
your work. The program will create a file (OperationsLocationRoster.xml) in your JMRI
|
|
directory in a folder called "operations". The program will also create a backup file
|
|
containing the last settings for all of your locations. <a id="Sidings"></a></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Spurs are very similar to <a href="Ops_AddYard.shtml">Yards</a>, so see above for more
|
|
information. You can if you wish schedule the order that Cars will be delivered to a Spur.
|
|
See <a href="Ops_schedule.shtml">Schedules</a> for more information.</p>
