Digital Marklin demo layout

It has been almost 20 days from my last post, and you would think there would have been quite more progress. Alas, no. This hobby of mine had to take a step back, as I need to complete a few tasks around the house, and family. So little has gone forward. I also have misplaced the Marklin C track which I wanted to use, as being more reliable and easier to wire for DCC than the M track. I know it is in a box, but which one and where are the questions. My bad for not cataloging my train boxes (of which I have quite a few). What I have been able to work on though are the warrants to run the train in a scenario. I designed two scenarios so far, and I have completed the first. Now I am using this scenario to test the signals, sensors and turnouts. I have the last two down pat, but the signals ........ well ......... Let us say I have set up the signals locic, and logix,  three times so far, and none are working like I would like. I also need some understanding for how to control ...

I am not doing anything for now with the hardware or equipment (engines and cars), so I am working with the software in JMRI. After an initial look at Layout Editor, I decided to go with Control Panel Editor, as it is the one I am most familiar, having used it for the past 6-7 years (0 years for the other two, so they had no chance). As such, I created turnouts, sensors and signal masts first, then the panel with simple icons. This is what I got: Turnouts Sensors Signal Masts Panel You will notice a small modification to the plan. I found that I have a little more space than originally designed, and so I decided to add another staging track, calling it Staging 4. Also, in order to display the turnouts for track 4 correctly as on the layout, I needed to rotate the turnouts. With these icons, it does not make the panel pretty, but for now I will live with it. Once I had all the above done, I added some Logix, 4 to be exact, to drop the signals to red when ...
