Timetable
The timetable has to match to the original situation on the used modules.
For the development of a timetable the reduced model time and the real time of travel of the trains with the assumed driving speed has to be considered. Shunting times should not be too short.
Timetable documents:
- Train graph
is the base for the planning of the operation; it shows, in a graphically way, train movements and track occupation in the stations. During the meeting especially important for the station inspectors and fiddle yards.
- Timetable book
for the train's crew, where the several train's drives with all stops, times of arrival and departure, driving speeds etc. are listed as a table. For each train a separate sheet of timetable book is necessary.
- Regulations for marshalling

- Circulation plans
regulate the operation of locomotives and passenger coaches.
