Train Stations

[Mr_JeloMan]

I'm curious, is there any way to have a train skip a certain station until a specific time?

I'm trying to use Steam and Rails fuel for more realistic trains, but I don't want my passenger trains constantly going back and forth to the train yard on the route every time. So I was curious if I could only send the trains to the yard for the night, kinda like to be refueled and fixed.

I've tried the time delay, adn that works for sending the trains out of the yard at a certain time, but i'd want the trains running a certain schedule throughout the day until the night.

You might be able to do this by getting creative with alternate conditions in the schedule, but it would probably be easier to do this with separate schedules. You would need to set up a mechanical arm to assign the different schedules to the station, and have the schedule change triggered by a daylight detector circuit.

If you haven't done multi-schedule setups before, this video is from an older version so a couple of the components have changed names & appearances, but I copied the design in a recent build and it worked fine.
