6 (or more) way junction

Wolf01 · Post by **Wolf01** » 01 Jun 2004 17:45

has someone designed a 6 way junction with double track?
i really need it, i wanted to use the 8 way junction posted somewhere in this forum but i have not too much space to build it
i'm trying to design this type:

Code: Select all


    A    B
    \\   //
    ||   ||
    ||   ||
1===||===||===2
    ||   ||
    ||   ||
    //   \\
    C    D

i tried but something is wrong
a train can go from A to C, from A to 1, from A to 2 but no from A to D, or it can but doing a long travel and pass al the cloverleaf juncts
i'll be very happy if someone helps me

EDIT: posted screenshot of what i done
this isn't the map where i have to build the junction, the other map is a enormous city so the tracks must stay there, i can modify only the junctions

damn, how many days have you've been working on this?

I instantly saw, that you can optimise it by adding a direct rail from C to D. This way, it skips the hill and as a bonus, it also avoids the track there, which could have other traffic as well

for this only 5 minutes

, but is the best i have done, the other tries doesn't work because i have to use presignals and i mistaked something

but will be one problem, the delays... now i tried it with 3 trains, but with 10 or more the trains have to wait a lot

This is how I would make a 6 way junction.

second version, without bridges/tunnels, but the trains sometimes take the wrong way so i need to put "reversing junctions" on the lines

axalon · Post by **axalon** » 02 Jun 2004 07:27

hm a little messy, but maybe it works..

version 3, it works fine and is possible to expand to 8 tracks, but i don't like it

hehe it has to look pretty huh?

no, it has a lot of joints

ok, this is the last and final version i made, if someone has a better idea i'll be happy

That junction maybe a little bigger, if you have long trains, you'll just get nuts.

what about this? Easy, but works.

I've testet with 6 trains.......as shown

axalon · Post by **axalon** » 02 Jun 2004 10:59

WTF?? i think your last design is a liiiiittlle too complicated... and its too small, bernards design is better i thing, eventough trains have to stop very often...

this afternoon i've improved the previous junction an i obtained ==> "JUNCTION v.4b", this can handle up to 12 tracks, there are some delays but works all fine, i'm thinking if are necessary the presignals

axalon · Post by **axalon** » 02 Jun 2004 17:58

hmm, the first ones where alright, but these are just useless

troopper5 · Post by **troopper5** » 02 Jun 2004 18:01

But it's still small, when long trains and many of them are in that, it'll get quite messed up.
