<p>My copy of ZentralStellwerk Essen Hbf worked fine but after a spell of non use I tried to run the program but got an error message "ZentralStellwerk Essen Hbf has stopped working".</p>
<p>Tried my by back up disc but that also failed to run.</p>
<p>My OS is Windows 7 64 bit that being the same OS when I first installed the program.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any ideas what has gone wrong and how can I get it back.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>The highly-detailed zoom images are excellent for showing the panel in great detail. Up until now, these pages did not support touch screen devices like iPads.</p>
<p>Today, I have rolled out support for touch screens.</p>

<p>Who has not got this issue:</p>
<p>A heavy freight train coming from Velp get stuck at signal 274. Signal 274 and 270 are clear but nothing moves!</p>
<p>What's the cause?</p>
<p>Well... you're not the first one who steps into that trap! It even happens with professional dispatchers!</p>
<p>Signal 274 is equipped with an additional "H"-Signal. (The "H" stands for "halt". In the US it's called a "tonnage signal") If the "H" is lit, a heavy freight trein may NOT proceed until the "H" is extinquished.</p>
<p>When is the "H" lit? if ONE OF THE FOLLOWING SIGNALS does not allow proceed: 210, 246 and 270. (even yellow flashing is considered "stop")</p>
<p>Why is this? the part of the line from switch 271 to about the position of signal 210 is a steep gradient UP. A heavy freight train might stall, when he has to come to a stop at signal 210 or signal 246. </p>
<p>Therefore the "H" is lit as soon as there is a risk of a heavy freight train to stall in the gradient. Light freight trains and passenger trains will ignore the "H".</p>
<p>A driver of a heavy freight train, stopped at signal 274 with the "H" lit, will NOT call in. He knows you have set the route and is expecting to proceed soon.</p>
<p>In real life, it's really funny for a driver to be called by a dispatcher with the message why the driver is not moving. A nice laugh for the drivers around the coffee table in the canteen again!</p>
<p>So Dispatcher, know your area of responsibility!</p>
<p>Neat option, eh?</p>
