IoTT's video: Data Model for Model Railroad Signaling System Video 23

In the last videos I covered signaling basics. We saw that train movements on main tracks need to have authorization indicating starting point and destination of the move. Execution of the movement is than done by the train crew and typically guided step by step by the signaling system. We also saw that several block systems were developed to help increase the efficiency of a given track section while maintaining the required safety standards. Today I start looking into how to make these block systems work as part of the CTC panel.
