Hi All
I have bought recently an s88 module: I would like to run shuttle trains with my ECOS. I am not quite sure what I should section. Should I section out all of the length of track necessary for the loco to come to a stop or should I just section the point where the loco should start to reduce its speed?
Perhaps I've better explain. Refer to the diagram below:
_______________________________________
a ------------b---------------------c --------------d
In the ECOS manual they say that you have to position points b and c (where the loco starts to decelerate) spaced in such a way that the loco has time to come to a stop at a and d respectively. What I cannot figure out is the length of the isolated track section to which I must connect the S88 module: is it just point b or is it all of the track between a and b?
(the s88 manual is in german, so I can get nothing out of it!)
I have to know this before I go an modify my layout!
Thanks
Carlo
