These poles decorate most of the lines in Belgium. On multiple track lines, the hectometre poles are placed alternatively on the left and right (provided that the 'zero point' is the same for both tracks). Odd values, when ascending, are on the left. The high kilometre poles are placed on both sides in that case.
In this pack of assets, the (blue) panels that show kilometre values are menu-driven (? in Surveyor). For the kilometre value to appear on the Trainz Minimap, the Name field should be filled in as well.
Belgian rail lines have official numbers, and on many lines these numbers are placed on trackside poles, primarily close to points where lines diverge. Some lines have known different numbers in their history, for instance as a result of closure of line sections or a change in the pattern of direct rail connections for passengers or goods.
The lower numbers are to be found on the older and more important parts of the rail network. Apart from that, the numbering is based on geographical location to some extent.
In the 1960s, industrial spurs and freight only rail sections have been given numbers above 200. N.B.:.
This network numbering system is generally different from the numbering of passenger services in the timetable.
There is a lot of information for those who are fascinated by this system, but the descriptions are in Dutch.
Updates:An update of the Script Library has been found necessary for the Belgian signals to function in TRS19 SP5 and TRS22. These new releases of Trainz appear to be more critical of missing components within assets, they differ in some of the base system functionality.
The changes in the signal scripts of this update deal with this issue, without the need for any change of the signals themselves.
Additionally, some modifications have been implemented that concern the timing of the signals lights.
You need to install this update if you are running TRS19 SP5 or TRS22. It is also useful for TANE and older versions of TRS19, since it will result in more prototypical behaviour of the semaphores on brackets.
