OR Timetable

[Captain Tom]

Can there be more than one timetable for a given route? As an example, i'm setting up the PRR NEC and have a lot of passenger and freight trains. Can I have a timetable for the passenger trains and another timetable (with a different name) for the freight trains and have both types of trains show up when I'm running the PRR NEC?

Many thanks for your responses,

Tom

It is possible to combine multiple timetables in a timetable set. Unfortunately I don't know immediately where to find more information about. But I guess it comes close to what you intend to do.

You can have as many timetables as you like, and combine them into one timetable using a timetablelist.
A timetablelist is an ordinary textfile, extention .timetablelist-or. First line can start with a #, this is the timetablelist definition and will be shown as name in the timetable selection field in the menu.
All other lines are just the (full) filenames of the included timetables.

In each timetable, you can include references to any train in another timetable (e.g. in wait commands), by adding the timetable identification to the train name. The timetable identification is the contents of the field in the first #comment column and the first #comment row. A train reference looks like this (shown here is a wait command) : $wait=trainname:timetableident.
Note that such references can be used in any command, so also in $forms, $attach, $detach etc.

Thanks Rob - I may have missed that information in the OR Manual. You have completely cleared that up by using a .timetablelist.

Much appreciated!
