Now you have the opportunity to
practice more connections: Make
the connection to the turnout „W 2L“
that was already positioned on the
previous page. To do that place two
of the track path items already added
as shown (left image). You need to
do a rotation of 90 degrees once (see
„Rotation Mode“ on Page 22).
Finally, connect the items by first
switching a docking position in each
case to the Connection Mode (right
image) and then making the connec-
tion (see „Connection Mode“ at the
beginning of this page).
Now a storage siding will be connected
to the upper turnout. To do that, first ro-
tate the track bumper and a track path
item by 90 degrees (images to the left,
see „Rotation Mode“ on Page 22).
Connecting a Turnout and a Track Bumper
Pull the now horizontal track path item to the
left next to the turnout „W 1R”. You will see two
black symbols to the left and right on the edge of
the marked track path item. They are the docking
positions by which two items are connected with
each other. Now tap on the right symbol that is
marked in blue by the act of tapping on it: You
have activated the Connection Mode (left image).
Connecting Items: The Connection Mode
As soon as the two docking positions overlap,
lift your finger from the display. The Central Sta-
tion 3 automatically makes the track connection
between the connection positions (left image).
Tap next to the turnout and the track path item
on the board and all of the markings are thus re-
moved. You see only the items together with the
track connection (left image). Congratulations,
you have connected your first pair of items!
Tip:
You can also connect the items by placing
them close to each other.
Now both track-building items are posi-
tioned as shown in the diagram nearby.
After that, the turnout is connected to
the track path item (see „Connection
Mode“ at the beginning of this page).
Then make the connection between the
track path item and the track bumper
(lower image).
Pull this connection symbol marked in blue in the
direction of the turnout (left image).
Tip: You can carry out the pull motion with your
finger at any spot on the display. You thus have a
perfect view of the items to be connected.
