More signalling work

Debugging.

Over the last week or so I have spent a number of hours adjusting and debugging the signalling system on the JMRI panel. I have basically developed my own set of aspects based on the AAR-1946 rules and removed a number of aspects that are just not needed for my layout.

There are a few quirks to fix such as the Approach (Yellow over red) and Medium Approach (Red over Yellow) that are not showing correctly. I have enlisted the help of the guys on the JMRI Groups.io forum. So hopefully will have a fix soon.

Here are a few screen gabs of the panel showing Routes set and trains progressing around the layout in opposite directions. There are a few signals showing the wrong aspect and thats all part of the bud fixes I'm working on.

Red - Occupied, Green is a route set, and White is no route set / no trains in the blocks.

The large green arrows are used to set the start and end points of a route and once the route is set the direction of travel.

Note the large sections of green in both staging yards on all the turnouts are 1 block per yard holding all turnouts. While the entry to the staging is not that large in terms of the turnouts section or block, showing them in a cohesive way on JMRI is a bit of a challenge. Hence it looks a bit odd but it works.

This screen capture shows a Train in the middle 1 turn helix heading south and a route set into track 1 in south staging.

It also shows a train exiting the loop in Plattsburgh and heading to the 3 turn helix (bottom left) and a route set to track 1 in North staging.

This screen capture shows a Train Between Whitehall and Port Henry heading South about to enter Whitehall on track 2 with a route set to track 1 in South staging.

It also shows a train in the 3 turn helix (bottom left) and a route set to track 1 in North staging.

This screen capture shows a Train Between Whitehall and Port Henry heading north about to enter Port Henry with a route set for the main in Plattsburgh.

It also shows a train in the 3 turn helix (bottom left) heading south with a route set to enter the loop for a meet in Plattsburgh.

This screen capture shows a Train on the main in Plattsburgh waiting for a route.

It also shows a train entering Plattsburgh from the North on the loop for the meet and a route set to enter the loop in Port Henry with no route set beyond Port Henry

More to follow once I get the aspects sorted out.
