Hi Vik,

Thanks for the images and double check, I’ve build a mini test layout myself, a circle with two block using an ECoS Detector 50094 connected to an ECoS (1st gen, B/W display).

I used ports 1 and 5, as those have RailCom:

The sensors work properly, but RailCom not yet correct. It does not release the train yet, going to look into that.

Other interesing thing is we will need an invert direction option for the RailCom direction. As this is an circle one must be the opposite.

Have to do other things now, hope to look into it tomorrow.

Greetings,
Reinder

Hallo Reinder,

can you please send me a copy of your world above (with the corrected directions) relative to the original mounted direction in the ECoS-Display.

I would appreciate to test it with Build 2123 with the ECoS and than compare it with Rocos Z21 and 10808 in the Z21APP.

kindly regards

Hi @vikr,

After that screenshot I’ve modified the trackplan and world for using four RailCom block detectors. I don’t have the test setup available anymore, I needed the tracks for the Traintastic Demonstration and Test layout.

Here is my last version of the world: ECoS RailCom test 2026-09-04.ctw (2.6 KB)
